You moved the goalposts there with the quickness. We weren't talking about AD, I was talking about 2010 when everyone got on LeBron ass for talking to other guys about where they wanted to go in free agency. Is this the sort of shyt where you claim it's illegal when Bron does it but justify it when anyone else does it?What about what LeBron did in 2019 with AD? Once it again it was him setting the precedent.
And pretending Bron was always the first player to do something that has happened repeatedly in NBA history over decades is a fascinating Coli narrative.
Point me to the story where LeBron and AD met and discussed forcing New Orleans to make a trade? The Pelicans didn't even make the trade until the offseason when Lakers got the #4 pick and agreed to give New Orleans a massive haul. Meanwhile Houston dumped Harden for loose change cause he was tanking the season and the article has Harden and KD literally having discussions to agree to make that happen. Once again, y'all are taking an actual series of events that happened in real life and justifying it with fantasy hypothetical assumptions you just "assume" must be true.
