When I heard him call AD one of his best friends for real... I know he is still sad AD got done dirty like that
He’s sad he had to do AD like that
Luca the Captain now!
Don't be a hater is not worth it @@JonMW2
HE SIGNED OFF ON IT! THEY DONT TRADE AD WITHOUT LEBRONS APPROVAL BECAUSE THEY RISK LOSING HIM AS WELL
He had nothing to do with that. Stop spreading misinformation and hate @@JonMW2
Now, the real question is, how are they gonna build around Lebron after Luka retires?
😂😂😂😂😂
LOL 🤣
Unironically, I think Luka might be someone to retire very early.
@@nerodize_Chandler Parsons all over again? 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luka looking like all of us when we visit your relatives house that you haven’t seen in 10 years
or your 1st day in highschool
Lebron "I traded ad away. I brought luka to make lakers relevant for another 10 years."
😂😂😂😂
😂
Dude came from Europe. All he knows is Dallas. He’ll get used to LA quick tho. They all do
You can tell he misses AD cause he was dodging all the Luka questions
AD is one of his best friends, he’s gonna miss him fs. But he loves Luka too
He cap
That means LeBron lakers era is over
Man, idk but I don’t buy the story Bron had no clue about the trade. While I do think he likes AD a lot, I feel he knew it but is playing this narrative he was surprised. 😂
He’s sick because he know his title chances are cooked now
Dang, that whole 2020 team is gone now
lol markieff morris is back
Markieff's back though
they got markieff “education reform” morris back😩
2020 was 5 years ago you’d think it be gone
Lebron is still here
JJ Reddick is on his way to being elite, his adjustments are spot on. I can't wait to see his schemes with Luka Magic now in the mix.
Get off your knees
lol do you even hear yourself
@@treewisps4085dude they just blewout the Celtics won against NY and blew out the clippers wdym..
@@treewisps4085 Reddick is 29-19 with the Lakers this year, 5-1 without AD and more generally showcases interesting tactics and adjustments
@@idk_-dj7mp facts 😅 eribody hating now for what? I'm still hurt we lost AD our defense definitely gonna fold in the long run if we don't get solid pieces soon. Definitely grateful to get a talent like Luka knowing he'll fasho work his Luka Magic as a Laker. Just feels so wrong, so fake...
Bron locked in with Lakers for the next 10 years
Bron going to play for 10 more years and still not win another one.
@@noahjames1985 and you still gonna be in your moms basement in 10 years
He has 3-4 more years. Be realistic lol
@@noahjames1985you right he gone win at least two of them for sure.
@@joseabreu-nn5cu 2 years at the most
lebron composure and intellectual is soo tuff
its insane honestly
Bro has been doing this for 2 decades, gotta be the most interviewed player in sports history
@@kwiwj17731 mennn! I don't care what people say
He might be the greatest athlete on and off the court
His reputation, dedication to the game and humility
Lebron's a good image to the world bro
Holy glazing
@@erikh3rnand324 🤣🤣🤣
Lebron started cussing so the interview would end😂 a true vet😂
This man is 40 years old.... unreal
we know..we know 😂
@@anthonyhernandez2111 Do you though? lol
@@figuredrawing4912 every day on sports broadcasts and every Laker game they bring up how he is 40 like they just got finished sucking up on him...trust we know. lmao
it's hard to play no defense and cherry pick all night lol
@@treewisps4085 26 8 amd 9 with 3 steals but "he only cherry picks and plays no defense". watch the games little man
LeBron definitely doing this til he's 90😂😂
Ed Sheeran said 70 but go ahead.
Goat
42. In Gemtria 42= Retire & Lebron James = 42. Lakers = 42.
Gonna hold the scoring record till the end of time
Bron the only dude who said he cant even imagine. That’s 💯 we wish you all the best AD! And Luka welcome to LA, you gonna love it here!
Lakers offense looks good
Real good!
Lakers first round exit AGAIN. They have ZERO chance against The Joker.
Teams going to score 150 points a night against 40 year old Bron and the chubster.
@@alananderson7903better hope russ doesn’t mess up in the playoffs 😂..
What is scary is that they might be even better in the playoffs now. Playoff Luka is no joke, took a 5th seed to the finals.
All without Luka too, lakers putting the western conference on notice
Relax it’s the clippers
If they can survive the Play-In Tournament.
Facts!
Lakers first round exit AGAIN. They have ZERO chance against The Joker.
@@knoloyou say that as if the Clippers don’t have the best defense in the league lol
real talk, you got this LeBron James ong…
fr cuh
He don't look very enthused...
HE IS HURT 😂😂 HE IS LIKE THESE NINJA DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING 😂😂😂
AD's question had his head spinning, It was so sad that he was really his guy.
I do think the Lakers will succeed but our lack of rim / paint protection at the moment is concerning
Really just cursed on live tv 😂
Bruh i thought i was going crazy
The King does what he wants.
" The King speaks however he wants" - Conor McGregor some few years ago...
you can tell he never got the switch
Watch him get fined like edwards did 🤣
It's Def Surreal. Can't believe they're going to be Playing together. This is Special.
No AD even tho we have “horrible defense” blowout win without new member Luka Doncic. The Lakers are just 1 major piece away from being real championship contenders. Just know Lakers will win another chip before LeBron retires 💪🏾
Not major. Just need a good center, Luka was the major move
Lakers first round exit AGAIN. They have ZERO chance against The Joker.
@@wesleycuban8649 yeah tbh any decent center would look like a threat when u have Lebron and luka feeding him lol. just need a defensive center
@@alananderson7903you do see Denver got worst and also we were going to lose matchup with Joker anyway however we now got another Hall of Fame perimeter player and they lost their defensive wings Lakers 4-2
It’s a week before all star break against the clippers brother don’t hang the banner yet 😂😂
1:00 I totally appreciate Lebron saying, "it's a business, and you understand that." As a fan, this trade doesn't really affect me, where as, it upends the players and their families lives, and yet they are so well paid they should be willing to do what is best for the business. It's calming remembering that these players aren't actually here for the city, they are here for the money. Best of luck to all the players who just had their lives changed because of a trade.
who are you gonna guard if luka and lebron both on the court it's actually insane free points every time. if they stagger for 2-3 quarters then when lebron sits luka is still gonna score if not score more while the king rests. all the while both laker 5s have a playmaking general on the floor for the entire duration of the game.
Facts 2 playmakers with high volume scoring abilities
Throw in Austin Reaves @@DevinStone-sf9vn
LeBron and Luka gonna cook the whole league. If they get a halfway decent center the league is in trouble.
"The league is in trouble" Oh this will age really well.. 🤣
omg.i miss AD❤😢
Lebron did good answering those questions
Miss you AD
AD wasn’t ready to be that guy. The NBA put the biggest star under 26 in the biggest market lol we lowkey witnessing history.
bingo!
I like how everyone has now accepted that they just witnessed an NBA illuminati deal. Can't wait for the Vegas Mavericks and more Casino Arenas 🤣
@@Hyper-RealityVegas ain’t getting the mavericks. Dallas is a super large market.
@@musak.4068your wrong. In the next 2-3years Vegas will get the mavs. Everyone needs to wake up lol. The mavs was just bought out a year ago by the Adelsons. First couple team practices was even in Vegas lol
@@musak.4068and not to mention years ago 2020 2021 many nba players talked about the NBA wanting to possibly bring back Seattle or make a Team in Vegas. It makes sense.
Blow out without AD and Luka didn't play?? LET'S FKN GOOOOO( Celtics Fan😂)
Luka might mess up the momentum
@kwiwj17731 bruhhh did u watch luka last year??? Regular season+ post season
@@IVMON3YYeah his defense got exposed by the Celtics. You all said the West is a powerhouse last year only to lose to the Celtics with just one game won. The Celtics did not even take that game seriously and took out all of their starters in the 2nd half. Why? They wanted to win at The Garden and what happened?
@@Gurenn83Who needs defense when you got Lebron + Luka? We talking unlimited offense
I’m sure it’s rlly hard for LEBRON JAMES to be moved on from. This trade signals the lakers shifting their mind to the future and with LeBron so close to retiring this might be the final push
Lakers didn’t appreciate AD they wanted him gone I hope mavs appreciate AD when healthy he’s the best 2-way player in the nba
Ad his bestie but bro cant even be too sad about it, Lakers finessed mavs 😭
Correction, the Mavs finessed Luka -_-
He appreciated you not asking another question 😂
The media expects the players to be just as excited as them 😂
Perfect answer
As a Laker fan big Kobe fan I checked out when LeBron came to LA , Luka coming to the Lakers brings me back in.
Stay over there, you were never a real lakers fan to begin with. I’ve been a lakers fan my entire life whether it’s magic, Kobe, Shaq, or LeBron! The lakers are the lakers not a one man show, you don’t deserve to come back, we don’t want a hater like you supporting our team anyway! And Kobe loved LeBron and LeBron loved Kobe so even Kobe wouldn’t like you 😂
You meant as a Kobe Stan and not a real Laker fan !
@@papadiom9260"Pro Kobe/Anti LeBron" people make up 40% of the overall Laker fanbase sadly
LBJ could train Luka to be 100 about his body LBJ is the best to learn this from ..
LeBron could learn a thing or two from Luke's change of pace play
Yes get Luka juiced up like him is the way
Lakers traded to win now. Drop that nonsense that this trade was to win later 🥸🥴… Lakers about to put people on notice. Get the excuses brewing 😏
Facts! Luka and Bron are going for it! Seeding don't matter
No excuse when y’all come up short then this year
@@Chrisd0ntmiss Long as they make the western conference finals, there are no excuses we need to make. You should be ashamed of yourself, if a 40 year old LeBron proves you wrong 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What? The whole move is to have a way moving forward after the LeBron and AD era. That's what the trade is for. I'm one of the most delusional Lakers fans but even I know that move doesn't help this year or next year's chances of winning the championship.
Don't cry when they barely make it out of the playin and get clapped in the first round because they have no defense lmao
AD was his homie
Goat is so composed and still cooking kids out here
Luka Magic is now a Los Angeles Laker amazing can’t wait to see him ball up this week next to LeBron 🏀💯
All of you who thing Lebron signed off on this ...... I would totally agree if this was 2023 or earlier. In that scenario the Lakers would have another 2-4 years of a seemingly high level Lebron. But now the Lakers cannot possibly think they'll have more than a year or 2 of a decent playing Lebron. This move was purely a future proofing move.
LeBron on the bench with Luka :
“ Can you believe we pulled this sh@t off 😂🎉‼️”
nah it's worse fit than AD for him. Luka and he play the exact same which made either one redundant. and now they are without starting caliber center and no anchor on defense. this is a lakers move to replace lebron. they probably would trade him for a star center as well if it wasn't for his no trade clause
@@nguquaxanguyen5224 🎯 they traded short term success for the future. If it doesn’t work, they just want lebron to retire and build round Luka. They don’t care about lebron or AD anymore clearly.
Keep do what you do ❤
1st time LeBron getting all questions about somebody else
The GOAT now is King Lebron James !! 🐐👑🔥 long live The KING !
Lebron is hurt, AD was done dirty...smh..AD will win another title
They did Ad so dirty man
Must be time-consuming for LeBron to be the key player, Coach and GM for the Lakers.
LBJ just received a best gift of his life.
If Lakers win a chip, AD’s gonna know how DeRozen felt after Kawhi and the Raptors won the chip in 2019
Its different dude. Since Derozan got traded before the season start.
Nah AD won a chip ! Derozan didn’t get a chip and Also he got traded in the beginning of the season!
Still can't believe they handed Luka to LeBron just like that. It's like giving thanos the infinity stones willingly. 😂
Luka on the Lakers bench is crazy to see
After years of trading away teammates when with the Cavs,he’s shocked it’s finally happened to him
LUHHHHHHHH GM BACK AT IT!!!!
LeBron is the only one who can cuss and not get fined 😂
NBA is the one that got the deal done, not the clubs, not the players
I’m sorry but the NBA needs to be investigated for this ridiculous trade.
The NBA pulled the trigger on that trade, Luka just gave them many years of relevancy and ability to keep attracting fans to come watch the show. Been that way since 80's. Imagine bron retiring and they slump off. They would lose sales, marketing and interest. Business move at its best to preserve the number 1 team in marketing.
Lakers running through team.
Lebron always in victim mode. Derived from zero organic self confidence.
Bron tryna hold back how happy he is lol
this is crazy bron has seen everything through out his 20 plus years in the nba and even bron didn't know how to respond to this trade
Luka has so much to say, I can see him having a villian arc after all this, just kind of keep
To
Him self and his teammates, destroy teams 😮
espn trying to hammer bron with the luka questions.. chill. media is relentless, bro just lost one of his best friends as a teammate
Laker nation we are back
And the conclusion: LeBron James was the only NBA player and the only star who supported Luka at the beginning of his career in the NBA and is still supporting him now, this very moment. With such support, the way is open for Luka in Lakers. And, of course, the way to the top of the NBA! 🥰
Anyone know the song playing in the arena? Been looking for the longest time.
Bron fasho ran that play.. he’s a smart businessman! Lakers investors gone love him forever for that move
Still not as sad as when LA traded away Fisher in 2012 to Texas and left Kobe as the lone leader
Fish got traded to okc
@ nope, look it up youngin. He got traded to Houston
@@kevinhorry4182 Oh no, Lakers really missed those 4.9 ppg he gave OKC the following year lmao
@@kevinhorry4182 o ok , yea u right , but he aint even play with em . He was brought out
@@kevinhorry4182 if u look up his career history , it dbt even say houston on there , thats crazy
Bro acting innocent like he didn't know and this is the first time to trade his entire team away.
Can tell he alil bit hurt about that trade..
“I can’t imagine how (Everyone involved in the trade) Feels. “
It’s crazy and sudden but nba is a business..
True ! You could even see it from Lakers fans today ! They were really quiet as if someone passed lol. If AD was still with the team, they’d be a lot more excited tbh
Man I know my King is sad rn. He was blind sided it’s ok bron im here for you.
I cant wait for this part in the Lebron documentary 😂
I see Luka and jack Hayes looking for lob's
What the Lakers need to get is naz Reid and vucivic
ITS STILL OL'GOAT KING JAMES#23 .. 22 SEASONS AND COUNTING ..
What a ❤❤
Nico complained about Luka and send him to Lebron whose best player in NBA in terms of reliability and work ethic LOL
Assuming as they don’t run into Denver, watch out 😂
Nah nah that narrative is done now that we got Luka. If you watch both those series the last two years you will see we only lost because we couldn’t close. Now we got a straight dog who is the best closer in the league. Trust me, Denver does not want to see us after getting Luka, no one does.
Just casually beating clippers by 25 with no AD… no AD ever again. 😢
👑 James 🏆🥂🔥👊
No way this is a legit trade.
U can tell Lebron didnt know about the trade he lowkey pissed
I think inside he knows, Laker's is Luka Team now , may be last season with lakers . I guess he is best player of last 2 decades.
Dude has been wanting to pass the torch to AD but AD isn't that guy
Finally my glorious King spoke 🗣️
Great win guys keep it going 💜💛
Dang bra lebron was NOT feeling that trade
yo so this trade happened because ratings are down right? lets be real
There’s no doubt in my mind. There’s no rational reason why the Mavs GM only called the biggest franchise in the league.
@@KC_Smooth yeah its actaully pretty eye opening and weird. Steven A is the only guy with the nuts to say it smells weird but the rest of sports media is nonchalant about it....
@@TaylorV-t9onah jalen rose said this makes no sense, this is about money. Then vince carter also said that there are things behind the scenes we dont know about. When kai was asked about why the trade happened 3 times in a row, kai told him "dont ask why".
The truth is luka hurt and the Mavs knew he ain't played but 22 games they used him
LeGM tryna act like him and Rich didn’t make a move.
LeBron knew about this. NOTHING happens with the Lakers without going through LeBron first. Obviously his next career move must be acting because he is doing a great job ACTING like he was caught off guard.
Nah he didn't
You got facts???? Fukk outta here he didint know
You can tell he’s pissed 😡
LeBron cusses on live tv and gets a pass ??
GOAT privilege
@@princemjbp695 you must be 12
Lebron trying hard not to be happy because he knows AD would be mad
LeGM knew.
He didn't.
Of course he did
These decisions are waaaay bigger than LeBron. He's a small fry compared to BILLIONAIRE businessmen.
@@leemires5315 so you think they didn't ask Lebron about the trade after Lebron practically demanded the Lakers to trade for AD, leading to the franchise giving away their core for the future and multiple draft picks? LMAO okay kid.
@leemires5315 i dont even like Lebron but he is literally a billionaire businessman also.
They do seem super close
JJ shouldn't fit his system on Luka but it should be the other way. Lakers move the ball quick and Luka needs to get to grips with it because in Dallas every pass went through him as soon as they got a rebound.
Just witnessed a chance of not seeing a future NBA hall of famer
He traded AD for LUKA
No he didn't you fool. NOONE knew.
bro always blame bron for this kind of trade; he's not a GM, not his fault
@@blankspace4358 how do you KNOW for sure ?
@@Damedesall you don’t know me wym bro “always”?
@ you just hate bron dude, being a main star for the lakers and billionaire doesn't mean he's the full control of the team Only the idiots thinks LeGM exists on every team he plays
Lakers are gonna win that division
Eyes 👀 watching us ❤❤❤❤
Le gm knew before he capping for cameras
