As an Angeleno I know this. He'll NEVER be a real Laker. Not really looking forward to the shit storm ahead.

@Ynotisay Same bro. He'll never be a Laker in my eyes. I have been cheering for this team my whole life and am a 3rd generation Laker fan and LA native. I sat through the past 5 years of shitty seasons and now the Bronsexuals are hopping on the bandwagon that I will be linked with just because I'm a Lakers fan. The real Laker fans that stuck by this team through the under 20 win seasons don't deserve this shit, we didn't even want him.

@Roflcash4 That's one thing about the Lakers. They grow their own. Thought the Clips were heading in that direction too but they blew it up. Magic coming in, and building a young team from the ground up, was an old school Laker move all the way. I don't want to see guys who are starting to come in to their own get put under the thumb of what comes with James. We'll see.

@Ynotisay I hate the super team movement that is plaguing the NBA currently, it is ruining the game. Instead of having 6-10 teams being capable of going on a huge playoff run, the NBA currently has only 2-4 teams that are really contenders. In 2010, every team in the WCP had 50+ wins. Any team had a chance of knocking off another team, and now no team has any chance of knocking off the Warriors, Rockets, and Boston before the Conference Finals. It's really hurting the game

@Roflcash4 It'll change over time but yeah, the past few years have been one-sided. Well, at least we know the Lakers aren't pushing for a "super team." They just picked up Rondo.
