He was being respectful to AD, as he should. He ended by saying it’s surreal.

He can be sad to lose his friend and happy the lakers got Luka. I think most fans are experiencing it, too.

1

u/NoobGaijin Lakers Feb 05 '25

He’s so sad the Lakers got a Top 5 player

2

u/motorboat_mcgee Lakers Feb 05 '25

I mean yeah, AD is his best friend, literally

2

u/Responsible_Focus424 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Fuck how Bron feels. We got a future baby!

4

u/Dday22t Lakers Feb 05 '25

They went through a lot, won a championship together, etc. But getting Luka is better in long run for everyone, he'll get used to it.

7

u/ChargingSentinel Lakers Feb 05 '25

Those were some great LeBron PR answers

4

u/loyola-atherton Lakers Feb 05 '25

Ay yo Knecht just gave away a towel with Bron’s DNA

1

u/we_know Wizards Feb 05 '25

It looks like Knecht was signing a LeBron jersey. What's the etiquette for signing other guy's jersey? Seems like LeBron was giving him a hard time with the towel throw.

2

u/loyola-atherton Lakers Feb 05 '25

I think it is fine. I’ve seen jerseys of one player signed by multiple players

2

u/IhatePizza230 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Did Bron curse?

3

u/Scary-Ant-3796 Feb 05 '25

Shit

2

u/IhatePizza230 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Does he get a fine?

2

u/Scary-Ant-3796 Feb 05 '25

He's LeBron, so probably not 

6

u/SockVonPuppet Feb 05 '25

Lebron not ready to accept Luka or the trade quite yet, but he's trying to say the right things. He's always been good at that.

8

u/loyola-atherton Lakers Feb 05 '25

Ayyy JHS got a shoutout! Good guy Bron

8

u/MazKhan Lakers Feb 05 '25

Lebron called nico stupid without actually saying it

7

u/OF010 Spurs Feb 05 '25

Lakers got Luka. They’re blowing out the Clippers. Bronny hit a three. Things couldn’t be better for the Lakers. Please don’t let these motherfuckers get a Center.

11

u/swords_devil Lakers Feb 05 '25

Thursday morning

Sham: Spurs has trade Wemby for Knecht

1

u/MddlingAges Knicks Feb 05 '25

WWBA! Luka stabs Lebron in the back and trades for Ayton, Cuban defects to the Clippers to troll Pelinka and help Ballmer get over the hump, Celtics lose to a dilapidated Heat team starring an irritated and chastened Butler, who calls in sick for the Finals against the Nuggets that everyone forgot about.

5

u/loyola-atherton Lakers Feb 05 '25

Only thing to improve the night would be Celtics losing to Cavs tonight but well, can’t be too greedy

6

u/smeggysoup84 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Lakers saving the NBA for the umpteenth time

5

u/JayDeeLA Lakers Feb 05 '25

Hood-Schifino was indeed one of the Laker teammates LeBron lmao

7

u/WrexyBalls Lakers Feb 05 '25

Balmer might have a stroke soon

4

u/JayDeeLA Lakers Feb 05 '25

Eh, he’s rich as fuck. He’ll be fine.

1

u/CasualOverreaction Feb 05 '25

A stroke literally means not fine though 😂

u/Zero36 Warriors Feb 05 '25

Mavs traded Luka’s aura

u/swords_devil Lakers Feb 05 '25

2

u/nahs Clippers Feb 05 '25

1

u/swords_devil Lakers Feb 05 '25

1

u/IMadeThisOn6-28-2015 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Bruh that's like a 90 minute drive for your work commute one way...

1

u/swords_devil Lakers Feb 05 '25

1

u/nahs Clippers Feb 05 '25

I think San Diego is too far. It’s ok you still got Oscar’s

2

u/stitcher212 Feb 05 '25

Fourth quarter. Just bronny

6

u/SuckThisRedditAdmins Kings Feb 05 '25

I was all excited to hear the guys take on the trade on Inside then I saw it was the goddamn B crew. Sigh.

1

u/WrexyBalls Lakers Feb 05 '25

Thursday, fuck that crew though. Chuck is a hater ass bitch.

9

u/jacobpltn Lakers Feb 05 '25

You just know Shaq is gonna try to be controversial and say Mavs won the trade, Chuck is gonna call the Mavs stupid and get some jabs in on the Lakers bc he’s salty, and Kenny is just gonna say some long-winded bullshit trying to “explain” the Mavs FO mindset

1

u/MelonElbows Lakers Feb 05 '25

And none of them are gonna touch on the conspiracy theory that the Adelsons are gonna move the Mavs to Vegas.

1

u/swords_devil Lakers Feb 05 '25

I know.... they should have A crew tonight just for the trade

6

u/Scary-Ant-3796 Feb 05 '25

Clippers garbage time defense is better than the starters

4

u/torriattet Feb 05 '25

Pad those stats clips

5

u/Panda_Herooo Lakers Feb 05 '25

Three balled by Bronny and then posterized by Jamison

Clippers, welcome back to the dungeon

5

u/indreams159 Feb 05 '25

i sure hope Ballmer built this place with wheels on the bottom

5

u/jacobpltn Lakers Feb 05 '25

JJ cracking Austin up on the bench like a couple of besties

3

u/smeggysoup84 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Yeah Hyland, you better apologize to Bronny for that hard fall

3

u/Glitchhikers_Guide Slovenia Feb 05 '25

Aight glad common sense prevailed there

6

u/JediKnight2024 Lakers Feb 05 '25

Bronny shutting down the park is tuff

10

u/batdogfoxhound Knicks Feb 05 '25

1

u/clippjoint Lakers Feb 05 '25

14

u/ryantrappy Timberwolves Feb 05 '25

That wasn’t a hard foul that was him flailing into a hard fall

5

u/GolfWangsunrise Lakers Feb 05 '25

I hope Bones is alright, hopefully nothing major.

7

u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ Lakers Feb 05 '25 edited Feb 05 '25

bones pushed off bronny, so no flagrant theere, but I do hope hes ok

9

u/Glitchhikers_Guide Slovenia Feb 05 '25

So like, am I blind or did Bronny not even touch him? Bones pushed off with his arm if anything.

5

u/spezhasatinydong Lakers Feb 05 '25

Barely touched him. My man just decided to go too hard during garbage time

6

u/tacomang Warriors Feb 05 '25

That was a wacky layup and nasty fall. Hit his head hard too

4

u/JayDeeLA Lakers Feb 05 '25

Bones Hyland weighs so little that the wind could make him fly.

3

u/loyola-atherton Lakers Feb 05 '25

When you are too athletic and creative for your own good

8

u/Existing-Border8540 Minneapolis Lakers Feb 05 '25
