A user on the social media platform X recently experienced some comical roasts from NBA fans after suggesting that the LA Lakers are already out of the Damian Lillard sweepstakes. The post was made by user JAKE, who shared information regarding the Lakers’ status in acquiring the talented point guard.
JAKE wrote, “REPORT: The Lakers are now officially OUT of the sweepstakes to acquire PG Damian Lillard, sources say. The Lakers reportedly refused the Blazers’ request of adding Austin Reaves into the deal.” This statement led to a slew of reactions from fans who found humor in the situation.
Some fans mocked JAKE for suggesting that the Lakers were even in the running to begin with, given the team’s limited trading assets. Others found it amusing that Portland would apparently ask for Austin Reaves, an undrafted rookie, in the trade which suggests the legitimacy of the reported stating otherwise.
In any case, the exchange provided an entertaining moment for fans on social media platform X. Damian Lillard’s potential move to the LA Lakers has sparked quite the conversation and it’s safe to say the NBA community will continue to follow the developments closely.
