And he’s under contract for another 1.5 years! I’m all for player movement to, but where does the “he MUST be allowed to go where he wants!!!” stop! Is a guy in year 2 of a five year deal entitled to demand a team deal with his trade partner of choice?

This is the problem with Deadspin writers. The have the emotional maturity of Taylor Swift. They’re so deep on “MANAGEMENT - BAD; PLAYERS - GOOD!” that when management is actually in the right about something, they stubbornly refuse to admit it because they think it makes them look like they support the other side.

It’s sort of weird that none of them seem willing to admit that it’s reasonable to think the Lakers offer sucked. I mean, we all just watched all those guys play without LeBron for a month and they were not that great.

Didn’t you hear?  Not giving Lebron James exactly what he wants, when he wants it, is petty.

I had legitimately forgotten Jrue was his teammate for a while. I mean, Eric Gordon and Robin Lopez are one thing, but the resurgent Jrue and oddly enjoyable Hield are something else

Part of “it’s a business” is acknowledging that teams are incentivized to get the best value possible from any player demanding to be traded.

Lol, no. The Lakers are essentially singing “Baby its cold outside” and the Pelicans replied with “Go away, rapist.” I’m still waiting for you to explain why you seem to think the Pelicans owe the Lakers anything in this entire situation? Because the Lakers want it? Because of who LeBron is? Because it’ll help further…

They’re more sympathetic than the Celtics in literally every universe! I checked!

Me, in the actual article above this comment: “I’m a Wizards fan.”

Same, I love how they’re alll doing the routine with her, and getting so psyched up for their teammate <3

I can only speak for myself, but that’s the thing that makes it for me.

Hopefully Oubre enjoys this now, because the Suns won’t have too many more wins to celebrate this year.

Can we get an official update on Drew? You don’t have to get into specifics or anything, just a simple “he is doing better should be back soon” would be nice.

Holy fucking shit.

I’m not sure why you think this is a defense of your point, which seems to substantively repeat the objection while sticking “uh, no” in front of it.

You gotta trip pretty hard to write that article
