BREAKING NEWS LeBron James has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets via trade
What other methods are there to get traded?
via banana boat
Ayyo P, they want me to swim on the side

The Lakers just wasted a year of JaVale McGee's prime by putting scrubs like Lance Stevenson, LeBron James, and Michael Beasley around him. smh
McGee’s Prime will be longer than most, trees live hella long
LeBron really got eliminated from Finals contention before April.
LeBron in playoff mode now
Elimination mode activated
Welcome to the West
Magic wanted a leader. D'Angelo then lead us the way to Cancun.
At least Magic is free to go on all the late night talk shows to start the tampering early
this post is gonna pay for reddit's servers for next couple of months
But only after crashing them first.
I wanted that Dlo dagger 3 to go in so badly
Me too bb. Me too
CANCUN ON 3
One
TWO
THREE
CANCUN
This dramatically reduces our chances of playing in the2019 WCF.
How so?
0 x 0 = 0
Dude, there are still 10 games left. What if they go 10-0? Let me run the numbers.
10 x 0 = 0
Damn, still 0.
But wait, they have the king! So add his 3 titles.
103 x 0 = 0
Oh no...
0! = 1 gottem
So theyre guaranteed the finals? Lakers did it again.

His old team still hasn’t made it to the playoffs in that time period
And his new team did it without their first round picks
Dlo had 13 assists and had the highest +/- in this game. Magic should not be in the position he’s in
A legit machine could do his job better just from stats analysis
If you would’ve said this last year I’d call you crazy, but now all I can do is agree. Magic’s decisions baffle the ever loving shit out of me.
Sean Marks was able to build this in a cave. With a box of scraps.
Sean Marks should win executive of the year for the next 10 years straight. Dude came into a barren cave of nothingness and turned it into a playoff team immediately.
and his old team got lebron james
Yeah but his new team has Jared Dudley
That’s some executive of the year worthy shit. Rebuilt a team with no firsts of their own
this, can't wait for every sports news anchor round the world to take a dump on magic tomorrow.

How all non-Lakers fans are reacting to this
MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN WOULD NEVER
deep sigh
pound desk after each word
MICHAEL
JEFFERY
JORDAN
I was there in Salt Lake City covering that team in 1998, and SHANNON ONE THING THAT CAN BE SAID ABOUT MICHAEL JORDAN IS THAT HE HAD THE CLUTCH GENE!
But skeeeeuuuup.

This is gonna be the most upvoted post of all time, isn't it.
Waiting for the "the golden state warriors have been eliminated from championship contention" post.
Gonna have to wait until at least 2020 for that one...
The other day at work I was like "I miss the brackets we used to do for the NBA Playoffs, we should do that again" and my friend just looked at me in silence until I realized by myself that there would be no point while the Warriors dynasty exists.
I mean just because you pick the champion right in your March madness bracket doesn’t make it a good bracket. Pick the winner of a series right and get a point. Get the number of games in the series right and get a bonus point. Escalate the points for each successive round if you want. Simple, easy, fun
Might break the r/NBA record for gold lol
You underestimate the power of laker fans
IT'S 29 VS 1 UP IN HERE
29.5 vs 1 at this point, I've seen so much Laker on Laker crime recently

I feel so bad for you guys. There’s been like 50 post in the last 5 minutes
We were prepared!
I was first. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Have a reddit bronze.

"ESPN is against us"
How delusional of a Laker fan do you have to be to have believed that at any point? All ESPN has done this season is talk about the Lakers and Lebron. Just 3 weeks ago ESPN was coming up with dumb as theories on how the Lakers could still get in the playoffs
I’m just happy to be here
From the first thread: Thought it'd be fun to re-visit old Laker comments

"the lakers logo is literally an L"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
Comparing Mo Wagner to Love is my favourite comment
u/sabadosabadosabado is ready to call out all the people who were wrong and or wronged.
I got ROASTED at my old job for saying LeBron joined the Lakers for non basketball reasons and might not even make the playoffs.
Ricardo if your reading this fuck you.
McGee can't win with these cats
Faded.
Hi r/all, its fuck the lakers round these parts
DRANK
Can I have my tankwagon flair now?
Fade me, fam.
Used to it now.
Fuck Maginka
Fr tho, every move they made has been neutral or negative. LeBron doesn’t count as a move by Maginka, he isn’t here cuz of Maginka, he was coming to LA regardless.
It's infuriating when everyone puts 100% of the blame on Luke.
Don't get me wrong, he's a part of the problem, but how the hell is he supposed to coach such a poorly constructed roster into the playoffs, in literally one of the most competitive conferences in NBA History.
He was coming so he can produce Million dollar mile. LMAO
when i saw that commercial i was like. this is the reason lakers are missing the playoff fucking shitty reality show.
i know the real reason just shit psoting
Prepare for the Skip Bayless hate until next season

Imagine adding “the best player in the world” to the “best young core in the league” and still missing the playoffs.
Imagine being the 4th best team in your own state.
Imagine not even being the best team in your own city.
The Lakers logo is literally an L.
The Lakers haven’t won a playoff game in 2500 days.
Dodgers lost in the World Series and the Rams in the Super Bowl. Tough time for LA fans.
Both to Boston no less. Poetry in motion
They juicin' the Clam Chowder!

YOU ARE WELCOME ALL! I DONT WANNA HEAR ANYMORE DRAFT PICK JOKES, WE DID THIS FOR THE CULTURE
TAKE THAT L ON YOUR WAY OUT
WHEN DOES THE ORGY START????
D'Angelo gets his revenge, sweet victory indeed.
I want to thank everyone for making this possible
mostly Magic and Pelinka for assembling that squad and injuries and Luke Walton and his terrible staff.
But mostly Maginka and their weird thought process
Looks like the West “ain’t gotta go through” you either
More people gonna come west just so they can dogpile old man lebron
