What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Kyrie Irving! Bradley Beal! Every week the Lakers leak their interest in some new famous person who won’t fix their problems.
On their devotion to an antiquated model. The Lakers are so obsessed with superteams that they refuse to build a coherent one.

So…did Kyrie meet with the ADL or any leaders in the Jewish faith? The steps Kyrie was supposed to take to learn and grow are seemingly being ignored.
Just saying that Kyrie met with leaders of the organizations who profit when he plays does not signify follow through. – 12:21 PM

💭 I told you guys that I don’t believe in sharing hurtful information. And I’ll continue to be that way but Kyrie apologized and he should be able to play. That’s what I think. It’s that simple. Help him learn- but he should be playing. What he’s asked to do to get back on – 1:59 PM
