If LeBron had his way over the last few years, they would have traded for Kyrie. They would have traded for DeJounte Murray. They would have traded for Zach Levine. LeBron has wanted a third star next to him in AD and primarily a third ball handling slash perimeter guy type star. He's wanted to redo the Westbrook trade, but do it with a better fitting third star. Lakers have not done that.
Then even looking at AD, where AD has often been more the quiet guy. He's not really making the passive aggressive remarks. AD wanted James Borrego going back to the summer. Borrego was his guy. He was the guy that he was backing. They end up signing or agreeing to terms with JJ Redick.

And that's to say nothing of previously when LeBron had wanted Ty Lue and Monty Williams and then they get Frank Vogel. And then you go the last few years, AD has wanted to play power forward. It's been the worst kept secret that AD prefers to play power forward compared to center. He's just had to play center because the Lakers have not prioritized adding a center.

And it's been, if you look at from 2021 on, it's been a revolving door of vet minimum centers who are all like fringe rotation players. So naturally looking at the roster, you have to shift 80 up to play center because the options are guys who probably shouldn't be playing in like a team with championship aspirations.

So I think if you look at just like, like take all the words and whatever, put that to the side, just look at the actions, um, The Lakers have not really done what LeBron and AD have wanted for several years now. Or if they have, it's been very small opportunity cost type situation. So I think really since the Westbrook trade, we can trace back the relationship fraying a little bit.

And it felt like at some point here, it was going to come to a natural conclusion. And I do think... I'm not going to say a clutch star will never be a Laker again, because I think it's certainly possible. But once LeBron is done being a Laker, I think that relationship has kind of run its course.

Yeah, that's why when you were talking about the price stuff, I'm like, are we going to do this all over again? Well, maybe someone else, right? I mean, could be, but yeah.

yeah i mean anthony davis is a center like let's make no mistake about it i'm i'm just like sharing that that that is what he's wanted and if we're arguing that like they've catered like because i i just think there's a narrative out there that they've completely catered to lebron and ad's wishes and whatever they want and i i'm just pushing back a little bit against that because i think there's been some very clear things that they've wanted that they've not gotten that that maybe in other situations they would get but 80 is by the way
