Sorry dude we aren't gonna help LeBron go to a new team unless we getting Giannis. If he wants to go to Golden State he can go over there for a tax payer MLE in the summer 😂😂😂😂
Lebron represents everything bad in sports and is universally hated outside LA. No thanks!
FWIW regarding Giannis trade news, why wouldn't GSW be the frontrunner? They can include Jimmy as an expiring to match salaries and JK and whoever else to grease the wheels for the Bucks, but what's REALLY enticing for Milwaukee is that GSW first round picks are probably some of the best in the league. Post-Steph GSW 1st rounders are quality picks. Which of the other teams that can acquire Giannis can say the same?
Warriors fan here…. Oh Hell no! We do not want LeBron! Ever !
At some point people have got to get off of Lebron's 🥜🥜. He's in his 40s now, let that man retire
Lakers just got Austin Reeves back. They think they can win. No way the Lakers move him.
You hit the exact point I was gonna say. The difference between the pistons and those other young squads is Duren offensively being huge on the front line. The only thing is when they go against big defensive guards and wings, Cade seems to have a little trouble like against the rockets last week
The lakers win that trade hands down. Look at the lakers without laflop, and look at them with lawhine on the floor.the lakers are better when laflop doesnt play. Why do all the talking heads love laflop???
Mailbag: Thanks Jason for doing what you do. Can you do a player deep dive on Demar DeRozan? If you reran his career 10 times, I feel like more often than not he'd be better than he is today.
This would be the last straw for me with supporting the Warriors. Next to zero young player development, no capable center for multiple seasons and then LeBum and his son!!! Sorry, I just won't, even though you will spin it like it's the best trade ever!?
Money Mike can't sell it, he's not respected
Mailbag: With Harrison Barnes struggling and the deadline next week, do you think the spurs should make a deal to replace him, let him figure it out, or just hope that Carter Bryant/Sochan can step up?
Anything to get LeBron to another stacked team…I jus wish u would stop acting like your a laker fan fr
Hell no !! Lol la bron washed
Nooooooooool
Your just looking it at it from a bron fan perspective , we don’t want him here in the bay . Only Draymond would
As a warriors fan, I say no.
This guy is hellbent on messing up GSW. God, please no!!
Who would wear #23 though?
You guys need to realize this lakers fan is milking us warrior fans for content, this will be my last comment. Warriors fans don’t feed into it
1:03 WAIT WHAAAT??? I dunno if you series or not bra. But that package for Bron is CRAZY. Yall gotta get that "expiring contract" shit tf outta here yo. No one really gaf about that type shit ESPECIALLY if you already have LEBRON lol. N if we trading Bron then I need a better package then just fucking "Will Richard" oh and ONE 1st rd pick lol. Ok
Lakers shoulda done this trade last year when they got Luka. Huge fumble there. Right now maybe Bron for Jimmy is worth one pick if bron’s contract is also expiring. Not worth pick if Bron had many years left.
Mayb me warriors can sign Larry bird after they sign lebron at 41.
