The “official” start date of Free Agency was June 30th at 6 P.M. Kawhi Leonard waited until July 6th at 2 in the morning to inform everyone he was headed to the Clippers. And you rarely see good triumph over evil, but it’s exactly what we saw tonight. I can go on and on about how they are basically the scientology of NBA teams but that would take hours, the point is they are evil. They attacked the credibility of established and respected reporters like Woj while taking the word of fans with sauces like Arye Abraham as gospel. I’m too lazy to go search every Lakers fans tweet history about acquiring these 2 guys but I assure you there is a goldmine of entitled-trust-fund-baby sounding tweets about them becoming Lakers. The hubris and arrogance displayed by their fans was sickening. And not only that, they’ve had their targets set on LA-natives Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for years.
Lakers fans and their front office have been running their mouth forever about how every single superstar is going to sign there. People think this is all about the Lakers missing out on Kawhi, but that’s just a small factor in this hilarious equation. That’s what makes tonight’s events so delicious. To put it simply: Lakers fans are just the worst and life is better when they suffer. These are all things that bring me great joy when I see them.
