You sound like a complete idiot. What would Knicks fan do to win a title? I swear Laker fans are the worst.
Scottie Pippen's son was better than Bronny, but he didn't make the Lakers roster.
Pat Riley was that one man that did not let LeBron take control.
Why is the lakers going through this with lebron. He is not a laker legend. Why wasn’t it the cavaliers going theough this bs with lebron.

The second apron is no joke. The penalties changes the way teams have to deal with contracts and trades. Once you see how restrictive the second apron is, you can finally understand why my Clippers let Paul George walk for nothing. Even if we got players back, that means it’s still adding salary. Second apron is basically like a hard cap and it’s going to be in full effect this upcoming season. Look at Klay. Warriors only got back 2nd round picks. You don’t want salary to keep coming back. LeBron and Lakers fans don’t really understand all this. They just buy Kobe or LeBron jerseys and are quite clueless about how everything else works. Read up what Lucas Hann wrote about that second apron last summer. Once teams reaches that second apron, that franchise becomes handcuffed and it can be for years. It’s not like before. Second apron is actually helping poorer owners like Jeanie Buss and stopping richer owners like Steve Ballmer and Joe Lacob from overspending. The problem is, LeBron isn’t exactly helping Jeanie here by taking a max deal. He doesn’t get how the new CBA works. To him, it’s just pay him and his son and then play victim when his team fails again because he didn’t have enough help.
These organizations make the fans think the teams are theirs, but continue to give the fans their ass to kiss…showing that they don’t care about you 😂

That’s not true. The Lakers are a high profile franchise. Additionally, Lebron is a high profile player. The two together makes everything they do seem bigger and get more scrutiny. Nobody has said a word about Pop or the Spurs. They haven’t been relevant since Leonard got injured. They haven’t made the playoffs since then either. Were that the Lakers, Pop and the GM would have been fired.

LeBum needs to retire...enough already
I’ve literally been saying this for the last two years. Finally people are starting to wake up.
This is not nepotism. If this was nepotism, it would be about Bronny. This is about LeBron and his legacy as well as the Lakers saying they had the first father son teammates. Bronny is a pawn in this. He is the guinea pig. Hopely He doesn’t come out of this with mental issues. He is a 6’1 combo guard that can’t play the point or shoot. There is only so much hiding him you can do.
LeBalco is the master of controlling the narrative. Remember when he was swept by the Nuggets he immediately made the story about his possible retirement.
I think brons plan is to buy the lakers and continue giving his sons contracts
Next up Bryce. Then keeping Bronny and Bryce in LA for the next 40 yrs. Load them up with Balco
Finally some true from the media
Lebron brings drama instead of championship. The more drama the more money.
I think Lebron and Jeannie Buss are having an affair
These pundits kill me with the notion that players should "give something back" to help the organization. Folks complain about LeBron inc. being the LeCoach and LeGM so now he has to be LeCapologist. Criticize LBJ for whatever BUT Rob or this front office shouldn't get a pass in all of this

They want it to be like the NFL.. But they should blame the CBA
Every superstar player should be putting pressure on their GMS to make the team better! Not sure if you guys continue to ignore the first seven years in Cleveland for whatever reason, but that's where not trusting the GM to bring in the right players comes from...
And they are talking about bronny getting prepared for media like every athlete doesn’t have that
Basketball is over. Owners never should have let players have this much control. Music died. Movies dies. Sports going down the same road.
laughing at the lakers lately lol
Yes let’s blame the player people think lebron is the owner of the lakers 😂😂😂when the lakers have a whole owner she’s the boss she has final say and some laker fans say we want bron gone you know AD will be gone too right but like we have good owner and gm to do a rebuild😂
It really doesn't matter what the Lakers do it's like this no one got more championship than the Lakers butt Boston so really doesn't matter what the Lakers do at this point so all you haters that don't even live in Los Angeles just shut up LeBron doing him and I ain't mad at him do your thing LeBron

Here's another thing that you guys aren't thinking about or care about for that matter. We lost Kobe Bean Bryant and everybody was saying when the title for Kobe in 2020! Not only did we do that we also made Jeanie Buss the first female owner to win an NBA title! If you don't think that Jeanie Buss doesn't appreciate that and understand the finances that LeBron brings in..... You're not paying attention!
Since I'm on a roll let me ask a question real quick just to get an idea of where some people are coming from. How did you feel when we missed the playoffs for straight years in a row with Kobe on the squad? And he got the max the last 2 years of his career?
Real fans don’t watch the lakers because of leflop James
First, LeBron's brand is not greater than Jordan's. Secondly, with great power comes great responsibility. This era has seen the players have the most power than any point in NBA history, and they have completely abused their power.

The last part of this podcast is more feelings than anything else because they obviously don't know who Bronny is. If you really dig deep and go back to find out who LeBron James Jr is you'll know that he talks like this all the time. Yet in their opinions it sounds like LeBron James senior? Smh
On top of putting pressure on the GM's if you are a good GM for president of basketball operations then he's not putting pressure on you! Pat Riley being the best example of that!!! Go back and look at all the other GMS from the beginning to the end of LeBron James career, and only then may you understand why he doesn't trust GM's to work in good faith without putting pressure on them! Smh
Now, every players need to pass the ball to Bronny. If not, they could be traded to Hornets
RIP Kobe All he wanted to win and bring him players that were dedicated to rings, LeBron just wants his family and friends to have a job
I don't think I've ever seen a network where whoever the host is for a specific topic is determines how the show goes 😂😅 Chris is -pro Lebron Douge and company- Anti Lebron...all on the same network. It's interesting to hear the different takes. I think Bronny may have not signed up for this, seems to me its more of LeBron's dream than his. But.... it may work out for Bronny! 2 things he needs to do. 1) Stay off social media 2)Develope kyrie like handles. At 6'0..Definitely going to need the handles for finishes at the rim. You guys are making me root for Bronny honestly 😂
No I have another question! Is LeBron James runs everything in the Lakers why didn't we get Ty Lue or Monty Williams? He went to three straight finals with Ty Lue and won a title. Monty Williams had a good relationship with Anthony Davis and LeBron James endorsed him too! Still haven't gotten the serious answer from that.
jordan aint go this hard his last days on the wizards this is shameful 😂💯📸
Lebron has spent his career jamming teams up by taking 1 uear contracts... by signing a 2 year, with a player option, gives Lebron the power to hold your team hostage in off season, like he does every year, of you don't do what he wants....

What if LeBron is setting up to buy the Laker franchise and have both of his sons in the backcourt🤔
And another part that you guys don't understand is that Laker Nation made over 515 million gross two seasons ago a lot of that had to do with having LeBron James on the team!!! Superstar sell tickets sell jerseys in other things! Most of you don't understand that. But you guys praise Harden in bed PG-13 Kawhi Leonard and others for failing miserably! Smh
