A King and an Empire: The Official GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2018-19 season

[Rekkapryde]

“There was one interesting question (Leonard) had for Magic: ‘Did you guys try to trade for me when I was in San Antonio?’ And the answer was ‘yes, but because it was Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, and our history, they were asking for 2,000 draft picks -- well, not 2,000 -- like four draft picks, first-round draft picks, and we just couldn’t do that.’ And that was one of his questions.

“The uncle’s questions were ‘what’s really going on in the organization between you, Jeanie, Rob Pelinka, everyone? Is it as dysfunctional as we’re reading and hearing?’ And the response was ‘we had some issues, but we’re past that. I’m past that. We’re still a family, such as you fight with your brothers and sisters sometimes, well, I had somewhat of a disagreement with my sister. And Rob Pelinka, yes, I said he was a back-stabber, but that happened then. Now I want the Lakers to be a championship team. Having Kawhi here would do that.

“‘You can play for them because it’s not about me, it’s not about Jeanie, it’s really about this franchise. It’s about Kareem. Wilt Chamberlain. Kobe Bryant. It’s about all those great players. You can be another one, you can join LeBron James and you can win more titles, and you don’t have to put as much stress on your body to do that. We have two stars to work with you.’”

“LeBron James was able to bring on his own trainer, his own medical people. (Kawhi) wants to know if he can do that as well. LeBron James brought on some people that weren’t with the Lakers, and he wants to know ‘can I bring with a couple of my guys?’ ... And as far as I know, the Lakers would be willing to do that, because you do those things for superstar players.”

My Goat :blessedmagic: sealing the deal

 

[NoMorePie]

Yall gonna be fine. Iggy, korver getting bought out in due time.

Did McGee get signed yet?

 

[idonttouchgrass]

cant wait ‘til kawhi says he’s staying with the raptors

 

[Hater]

 

[thaKEAF]

Come on Kawhi I need my GOAT to get one more ring before he retires.

 

[steph_harden]

This ain't the old days where all the free agents were waiting for Lebron to make a move. These nikkas flew off the board quicker than a bytch. There's no more all stars left and the Lakeshow needs another piece if they really trying to win next year. If Kawhi doesn't sign with them are they fukked

I just don't see who else is out there. Not even the role players waiting

 

[MikelArteta]

Guys in China

 

[qnsfinest]

Cousins, Marcus Morris, wesley matthews and seth curry should all cost about around 30 mil that they still have left.

 

[John Reena]

Nobody wanna play with a 35 yr old Lebron, all the Klutch nonsense, njury prone Davis, and a front office where Kurt Rambis wife is making major business decisions.

Shoutout to the Knicks for taking a good number of guys the Laker could’ve used.

 

[El Coupeacabra]

Cousins, Marcus Morris, wesley matthews and seth curry should all cost about around 30 mil that they still have left.

I get that Boogie doesn't have a ton of teams to choose from but AD already told management in NOLA that he didn't like playing with him...so why would he take something cheap to go play next to him again???

 

[The_Unchosen_One]

Just call for the press conference already Kawhi....

Bron and AD need to work them phones to get people to fill the roster

 

[Family Lives Matter]

I just shed a single thug tear

 

[EBK String]

Kawhi Leonard reportedly asked Magic Johnson if Lakers tried to trade for him, wants team to hire his own medical professionals

Kawhi looking at like he already proved he the best player in the league and Bron is flabby and sick and only got a few years left and he can be the face of his hometown franchise. I think the Lakers are getting him.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

I keep on seeing cats call Bron “flabby and sick”

It’s crazy how great this guy really is.

Cuz if flabby and sick is 28, 8 & 8 (aka a great individual season for any other player)

Then I’m really feeling great about our championship potential as he keeps them “so called paltry numbers up” as we hopefully add Kahwi here with him and AD
