Harrison Barnes gets traded during game, Lebron whines about it

As someone said in twitter: "I don’t know if LeBron is out of touch or is just this obtuse…

But he is showing more defense for Harrison Barnes than for his teammates that had to deal with chants from a crowd urging them that he wanted them traded."

what do you expect he is a whiny itch

LeBron seems to have a lot of opinions about things that don’t affect him whatsoever.

true

Technically he's VP of the players association so he's looking out for players, but the time for that is during the CBA negotiations. Not random outburst on social media with illogical captions.

Does anyone even understand what Lebron says here? He shouldn't have skipped those English classes during high school


I would have respected him if he made a point like "this needs to be outlawed in the next CBA"

but he's not even taking it to that level.. He's whining about semantics from press releases or something

He deleted it from his IG


Edit - nevermind

IT posts a “100%!!!” In the comment section, that’s getting a lot of traction...

Well, it does kind of suck for the player that FOUND OUT he's getting traded midgame. Like, that's just straight up disrespectful.

As far GM is inking the paper mid-game that's fine. Just inform him of the decision after the game. I felt the Mavs did Harrison Barnes dirty there.

As for LeBron, he's a drama queen as always so he should keep his mouth shut. What say does he have in this while he's been too busy grabbing Rich Paul and Klutch Sports around on that Anthony Davis thing for the last two weeks?

Saw online that Paul Pierce (fwiw) apparently said on TV that a source told him Barnes knew he might get traded, but he requested to play anyway.

I can't wait for the coaches to get traded during the game for the first time.
Something like Gentry for Thibs+2nd rounder at the halftime. 
In a game between these two teams of course.

Joking aside, this is such a hypocritical response by LeBron, who traded (influenced, to say the least) 50-60 of his teammates in the last 10 years.

LeBron (and The Czar Mike Fratello and Analyst Steve Smith from NBATV) are correct, here.

The WAY this was carried out is the EXACT reason why many NBA players are lashing out.

I can ALSO see why some HERE on the Blog (myself included) and others COULD criticize LEBRON for speaking about this - in that he is letting his agent Rich Paul run roughshod with these rumors / tampering / allegations - all in the name of appearing to align his client with a top tier talent.

If LeBron has the power (and I know he has) he needs to have his agent go or his TEAM go about this a different way. But that is already too late.

I personally hope my Boston Celtics take The Lakers out back to the shed tonight. Just go to that little tree and grab a switch. Get a good THICK one or the whipping will be WORSE.

Then USE that switch to give the Lakers a good ol' fashion thrashing.
