LeBron James Called out for Hypocritical Lakers Issues

Skip Bayless sure used the opportunity to trash LeBron James for the Los Angeles Lakers issues. Oh, he’d use every opportunity to call out the king of basketball. The so-called rift between LeBron and the Lakers front office added fuel to the fire. Well, guess what, there’s no such thing.

The whole thing started during the All-Star weekend. LeBron received a lot of questions about his future plans. He also received questions about the situation in LA. LeBron praised Lakers executives for their efforts in the pre-draft process. Sam Presti earned words of praise from the Lakers superstar. Many thought that LeBron took a shot at the Lakers front office.

LeBron James is fine with the Los Angeles Lakers, there are no issues

Dave McMenamin of ESPN reported that Rob Pelinka made the decision all by himself. He didn’t trade Russell Westbrook for John Wall. Yes, the Lakers general manager decided to stay calm at the trade deadline. There were so many options for the team, but they didn’t do a thing. I guess Pelinka had his reasons to avoid any major move.

Eric Pincus from Bleacher Report delivered the first shocking report. He claimed that LeBron and Klutch Sports had entered a cold war with the Lakers front office. Pincus’ report suggests that Klutch Sports insisted that the Lakers trade Westbrook for Wall.

Rich Paul heard all the rumors and decided to respond. According to Paul, there’s no cold war between his agency and the Lakers front office.

Bayless didn’t pay much attention to this. He called out LeBron for getting mad at the Lakers. Oh, wait, LeBron is not mad at the Lakers. Why would Bayless insist that the four-time NBA champion is mad at the team? Yes, he wanted the Lakers to get Westbrook, but he is not frustrated. He is not mad.

Amusing that LeBron is now mad at the Lakers for refusing to get rid of the problem HE pushed to acquire – Westbrook.

We have a few good reasons to believe that the whole thing won’t stop here. Things escalated overnight and a lot of people got involved. One thing stands for sure. LeBron is loyal. He won’t betray people who mean the world to him.
