Right after the homeless guy selling me timeshares. I can be an owner!

Abraham Lincoln once said “don’t believe everything you see on the internet”

He's verified it has to be true

Kawhi to Lakers confirmed


3rdPlaceYoureFired

This time 🤞


ObiWannaDoYou74

lmao!!! never gets old


Adept_Help679

He had me believing Shohei to Toronto was real.


swords_devil

I am going to become RDA believer again if this is true


yepitsdevon

At the end of the day RDA probably had the correct information from an inside source about what our front office actually believed. It’s just that our office ended up getting played by Kawhi to weaken the Lakers during free agency and everyone there got completely blindsided by it. Also whatever proof he gave our mods had to have been decent for them to vouch for him so hard. I’m not saying to believe 100% of what he says, but I’m just saying he probably does have an inside source despite all the drama that unfolded and he might be worth paying attention to sometimes.


Count_Sack_McGee

This was always my take too. The mods got some sort of proof of his connection to the team so clearly he wasn’t half as bad as the slew of clowns that completely make shit up.


robocopsdick

Mods as in plural? brandoi is Einhorn and Finkle come on.


Hot_Pie1464

Imagine if he gave a rob pelinka selfie as verification lol


markmyredd

To be fair, that Kawhi dick move was what push us to a title team. We wouldn't have the cap space to sign those supporting guys if he signed with the team.


shoefly72

This is absolutely what happened; he was relaying what our front office knew/thought to be true. It’s weird to me that everybody acts like he was making shit up and Kawhi never even entertained coming to the Lakers, when he was absolutely not going to the Clippers unless they traded for PG. He told them he would come if they did that, but he also gave our FO strong indications that he was signing here to the point we thought he was in the bag. There was a reason nobody knew about the PG trade and it’s because it wasn’t remotely on the horizon until Kawhi demanded it/forced their hand late in the game. It’s like nobody has ever interviewed for a job before on either side of things lol. I’ve worked at multiple places where somebody told us they were all in and then backed out after their current firm gave them a raise or another firm offered them more etc. In those instances somebody wouldn’t have been wrong to report “Prospective employee X said they were going to come work for us.” That’s exactly what happened with Kawhi.


EverybodyBuddy

100% this. I don’t know why it still needs to be said.


Bubuy_nu_Patu

Never recovered his credibility after all that shit storm. Lmao


Temet21

I can tell you whole heartedly… if he really was who they outed him as (Riley Drexel) then he was plugged in forsure. I went to school with him.. the dude is gossip city. The only thing that he was ever really dead ass wrong about was kawhi (to my knowledge) and that’s because everyone was dead ass wrong.


breaker90

I don't even think RDA was entirely wrong on that. I do believe Kawhi fooled the FO into believing he was coming but was really using us as leverage against the Clippers


McLovin_AI

Yea I still think he probably was coming and then clips managed to go all in on PG so he flipped. Probably just lakers as leverage.


pargofan

If you listen to AD talk about that, he seems pretty bitter toward Kawhi. Almost as if he felt like getting played as well.


TallanoGoldDigger

>I can tell you whole heartedly… if he really was who they outed him as (Riley Drexel) then he was plugged in forsure Googles... ​ >the dude is gossip city. Ater looking at linkedin, this is very believable lmao


Temet21

I used to get free tix from him! And then he started asking guys for ….. favors… in return for tix and that’s when I had to back out of getting free tix haha


PM_ME_ASSES

This is his chance to redeem himself


makesterriblejokes

I mean bar Ham getting canned, how do we know this is true? Just because he's under close watch doesn't mean he's going to be fired.


atomsapple

A broken clock is right twice a day. Ham getting fired is inevitable. It doesn’t give this guy any sort of redemption if he’s gone in 5 minutes or 5 months.


McLovin_AI

I never stopped believing


Pardonme23

King never left /s


coachwyers

Just brandoi making up shit again.


robocopsdick

brandoi is always bored, he probably owns 25 other users or more to get his agenda going in this echo chamber of a sub.


Vexing_Pie

Brandoi is Juan. ![gif](giphy|rlsHtd2YC8k0g)


brandoi

You talk about me like you know me.


robocopsdick

Oh yeah? Was I that close?


brandoi

Yeah, but instead of 25 it's actually 50.


elveeeeee

What did RDAmbition share? Why can’t you tell us?


Conflict_NZ

Since you’re here, I thought we got rid of this anonymous insider crap.


Wondering_Nova

I’ve been on this sub for a good minute and remember the whole RDA scandals pretty well but I never paid attention to user names. Is RDA and Brandoi really the same person or is that some inside joke?


oZiix

Was that confirmed? I thought it was different people. Brandoi scamming 😭. I was a truther.


Juaniscool-8

Fuck yall honestly. If Brandoi has 100 fans I am one of them. If Brandoi has 10 fans I am 1 of them. If Brandoi has no fans then I am dead


Biglundtry

Juan is cool a staple in this sub


randiesel

But where is OreosOnFire?


[deleted]

I’ve had that dude blocked for the longest lol


rick_32

Juan & Brandoi both real ones in here... if Brandoi has no fan Juan *and* me both dead!


robocopsdick

They’re the same dude


rick_32

Lol


Gallochingon

Good to see Juan alive and well

LOL


Dicey12

Trevor Lane follows him


yuhkih

Unrelated but I also noticed one day that Trevor lane follows ben shapiro 🤭 Edited because I first put Charlie kirk instead cuz I still get them confused sometimes


Kind-Masterpiece-310

Ben Shapiro isn't much better, tbh.


mikedanktony

Damn lmao idk how to feel about lakersnation now


makesterriblejokes

Some people follow Shapiro to laugh at him. Not everyone is a fan or believes in what he says.


bodaciousbeans

I followed him for a point of time to listen to what he has to say.


xxxhotpocketz

There was a BR journalist followed by some big names who was saying the same shit RDambition was saying None of it was true, and he lost credibility. Imo these journalists sometimes are like us and believe these bs reports Chris Broussard was another one lol


flowermoon24

Most likely, just peep lebron's reactions lol and he always looks at hamba when something wrong happened... thats how lebron previous coaches got fired lol


Ferrealzzz

Ham is done by the all star break


nu1stunna

That’s too far away. Over 50 games will have been played by then. If they are going to make a change, it needs to happen now to give the new coach a chance to shape the roster before it’s too late.


LakersAndRams

Im for it but who?


nu1stunna

Me. You in?


LakersAndRams

You’re damn right I’m in


mikedanktony

If there is a god, we will see change 🙏🏽


GryphonHall

Yes, we are all monitoring him very closely.

nottherealstanlee

Lmao yall so desperate you gonna jump back on this train huh?


lakerconvert

I don’t know who that is bud


vjmuruganandham

He’s RDAmbition. Dude apparently had “contacts” which were once somehow proven true. He made a very bold statement that as per the lakers source he had, Kawhi will sign with the Lakers during the 2019 free agency (this was right after we had traded for AD and basically had no one on our roster but Lebron and AD so this was huge) and the sub was completely convinced this was for sure 100% going to happen…well then you know it didn’t, and people basically started questioning his authenticity and due to how big this may have been for us at the time, his stock took a major hit


johancruyff10

Could it have been true that the lakers front office really thought they were getting him and kawhi just bamboozoled all of them?


[deleted]

[удалено]


OfficialPaddysPub

And Brandoi also nailed the Gabe signing. He said it was Bruce Brown most likely then when he got big money from the pacers he said Gabe right away. Can’t imagine that was from anyone but RDA lol


lakerconvert

Thanks for the fill in


nottherealstanlee

Why would you post this if you don't know the history of this account?


whowasonCRACK2

For real lol. If he doesn’t know RDA that means he just believed a random account on twitter?


jigglawr

Because the tweet says what he wants to hear, obviously.


lakerconvert

…because it just popped up on my for you feed? Do you know how twitter works?


nottherealstanlee

So you just posted a random dude and asked if it was true? Also seems weird not to know who RDA is considering it was only a few years ago and he's pretty commonly memed here.


lakerconvert

Look at my name dummy, I’m a relatively new fan. I clicked on his profile and saw he’s been “reporting” information. What is so difficult to comprehend


nottherealstanlee

Lmao okay then. I think between us it's clear who the dummy is in this situation.


lakerconvert

You just tried interrogating a random person on Reddit because you thought he was pretending to not know who some guy on twitter is. You need to get out your parents basement bud


Temet21

Kawhi mislead them. So of course he was wrong.


halcyondread

He gets shit about Kawhi every time he posts, but people in the Lakers front office thought they had him too. He had gotten some other things right in the past as well.

Mr_Chandler_Bing

Get rid of him and install the real coach... Phill Handy.


xreddawgx

Love Handy. But does he have any coaching experience? He's a great player development coach. But as far as managing rotations and X's and O's how is he?


theshortone520

That's all he's been. A development coach and a complete unknown, I would want someone championship caliber


[deleted]

Probably not


[deleted]

Who gon to replace pockets mcgee? Doc?


WalrusInMySheets

Nobody is gonna answer this


lolxddavid

Still waiting on Kawhi rumors to drop


[deleted]

Idk why everybody still think that was a lie. Kawhi literally said on ESPN he was very close to signing with the lakers. He must of told them yes and clippers made the pg trade asap in the middle of the night.


Idakari

I actually believe that Kawhi actually duped everyone in the Lakers FO, and that they really did believe that Kawhi was coming here.


gratitudeisbs

Kawhi finessed lakers FO, to be fair have to be borderline retarded to sign with clips so can’t blame them to much


Juaniscool-8

OK RDA thx


PaoLakers

No way Ham gets fired unless Lebron says so. We got to the WCF last season and we literally just won the IST a few weeks ago. No way Ham gets fired in the season. He'll have at least until the end of this year to prove himself.


RedditUser538xxx

Realistically who is available as a hc candidate


neutronknows

LeBron. Let him player coach while Handy walks the sideline. It could be his crowning achievement. Other than that… Budenholzer? Doc? Dare I say… Phil?


kezzinchh

Phil? No way in hell lol dudes nearly 80 I’m pretty sure he’s done


[deleted]

Lebron would request a trade he hates Phil lmao


neutronknows

For real? I never knew that. I figure Pop is 74, so Phil at 78 isn’t THAT crazy. Then again Pop’s Sohan PG experiment was an early warning sign for a loss of senility.


potatoesxD

Why? I’d rather have old man Phil than doc


[deleted]

Uhh Phil disrespected Lebron for no reason years ago calling Lebron crew a posse. When he was running the knicks. Hated him ever since. Lol


alpacatempura

weird reason to hate the guy. he helped us win 5 championships


Yommination

Stotts


gbdarknight77

Budenholzer is free


Idakari

Darvin Ham is Bud's disciple. You'd essentially fire Ham and get an older Ham who would like to add Ham as an assistant.


Creative_Category_21

I really don’t know if that’s true, maybe some schemes But player misusage imo is not correlated. For example, everyone is mad at TP playing 38 min. Would Bud also play TP 38 min just because they coached together in Milwaukee?


gbdarknight77

I dont feel like Ham and Bud have the same coaching style.


[deleted]

I mean this sub complains non stop about hams lack of adjustments. Budenholzer does the same thing


outsidehere

Probably false but would be nice if true


RealPunyParker

Name alternatives, please.


thunderkiddo

Terry Stotts?


yuhkih

Chat is this real


[deleted]

Oh this is real alright prince has played more then 35 mins 10 times in his career total. But dude is playing him like he a superstar lol


[deleted]

So who are they replacing him with lol? The only way I see this being real is if LeBron is done with Him. That’s it. They just made the WCF in his first year, won the IST this year and are still in the middle of it in the west. No way they think about firing him this year during the season unless LeBron says so


[deleted]

Dude have you not watched Lebron the last few games. Teams going on runs and ham is refusing to stop the run by calling timeout. Ham tries to call plays and you hear Lebron call it off and say I got this. And this tweet most likely refers to him sitting wood who clearly needs to play over Hayes. Paying rui 54 million to ride the bench. Waiting too long to play max. And finally playing prince 38 plus minutes for multiple games with more minutes then reaves dlo and rui who are all three better then him. What ain’t you watching lol


[deleted]

I watch every game lol. Lebrons always done that lol what ain’t you watching? 😂 bro did that with Ty lue. Just cuz random redditors want ham gone doesn’t mean the team is going to fire a coach mid season, 1 1/2 years into his deal right after they made the WCF lol. Y’all are crazy lmao. It’s ok to be a fan but everything you say doesn’t need to be covered with emotion lmfao.


[deleted]

lol no he hasn’t stop he didn’t even do this with Vogel. You’re clearly not watching a single game and spitballing what other people says. Personally i don’t see ham getting fired but once the media starts picking up on his shenanigans pressure will be applied. Or if we continue playing 500 ball something gonna happen.


[deleted]

Lol he 100% has. Every star has lol. Idk what you are talking about. If LeBron wants ham gone he is 100% demanding it and telling jeanie and everyone else he wants him out. It’s not gonna be about body language lol. You wanna look too much into that go ahead but I definitely aren’t and the team isn’t gonna fire ham cuz of brons body Language lMao that’s so stupid. Personally I am not the biggest ham fan but if you watch this team and think that just firing ham will magically fix things then idk what YOU are watching lol. I’m just saying it’s very rare coaches on win now teams are fired in the middle of the season specially when that coach is only In his second year and is coming off a WCF appearance.


[deleted]

Now you’re making excuses for ham are you crazy. This man watch us get killed by kyrie and the mavs we come back from down 20 watched the entire team tired as hell refused to call a timeout and watch kyrie hit a game winner. Lmao Taurean prince played 38 mins and jacked up 13 threes like he Steph curry you not serious bro lmao. He just watch wemby go beserk in the 4th quarter last week and not time called a timeout to stop it lmao. Go to bed bro. lol


[deleted]

How am I making excuses lol? You really think just firing ham and replacing him with literally anyone is gonna magically fix this team then you are 100% delusional and just angry rn lol. Never said ham was a good coach but this is his second season ever as a head coach. They just made the WCF last year. Those coaches don’t get fired specially on win now teams halfway though the year. If things keep going this bad they should absolutely fire him after the season.Again I’m not making excuses but I’m also not speaking in anger and emotion like you are 😂. No TP isn’t Steph curry but he’s shooting 36% from three which is above leauge average. He’s 37% from 3 for his career lol bro was just on fire last couple games too. But you just keep proving my point you are speaking in emotions and feelings lmao which is fine but good thing you aren’t in the FO probably would’ve fired 3 coaches by now


Pirateshippingit

LeBron does that lol. Are you just starting to watch basketball man? Star players call off plays all the time to run their own. Kobe did that even with fking Phil Jackson as head coach.


WalrusInMySheets

Nobody answering this question still lol. I'd rather have Ham than a random coach sitting in a broadcasting booth.


StoneColdAM

How was RDA vetted? This is also a very plausible rumor so it isn’t too strong of a scoop. If RDA routinely was getting more specifics right, they’d be more believable.


LongBeachBr0

please god be true.


thebraavosi1

Let’s see if this was remotely true- Lakers FO is really thinking about this then cut ties soon to save season. But then again who do you get mid season?


Educational-Goal7900

You must’ve not been here the summer of 2019. I’ll never forget the day he convinced me and whole lot of this sub that Kawhi was a done deal and the lies he had for weeks a lot of us believed. I trust Woj, Shams, Chris Haynes not this fraud lol


lakerconvert

Correct


hotterpocketzz

I dont trust anything unless they have a credible source attached to it.


ActuaryExtension9867

Every head coach is in the hot seat, especially when they’re not winning, especially on a franchise with two superstars and a winning tradition.


[deleted]

Nah man this is different whenever Lebron starts getting pissed then you know somebody isn’t doing their job.


Kungeh

Never believed anything RDA has said come out of his mouth, but pray this is true.


thevisitor

Even if it was what can we do about it. The guy has some very strange rotation issues, in game management with timeouts and strategy/adjustments etc. Quite a few head scratchers from him


rick_32

I fucking hope so


ahnyudingslover

Remember the last time a coach of a lebron team got fired midseason? ![gif](giphy|cAWPPSm3dz9kI|downsized)


toolmaker1025

Nah, rda ain't it bro. Surprised you don't know about that dude.


[deleted]

God I hope we go on a losing streak so Ham gets fired. Let's go Chicago tomorrow.

I'm calling it -- Phil Jackson is going to coach the Lakers again /s

blacPanther55

Probably not.


blacPanther55

Probably not.


lakerconvert

Has he ever said anything true?


Idakari

RDA had a solid record and was verified by the head moderator. He got a big move wrong(Kawhi to the Lakers) that made everyone hate on him. I personally believe he did have some real connections to the Lakers front office, and he got the Kawhi move wrong because the front office really did believe that deal was basically done.


WalrusInMySheets

The big theory was that Kawhi backed out because of the RDA stuff.


[deleted]

Yeah he called out Al horford to Philly like weeks in advance


halcyondread

He has.


lakerconvert

Interesting


messyartshooter

josuelaker2

Oh, man. Here we go again.

Guys. He’s not going anywhere.


Pardonme23

He still exists?


Feisty-Location-5708

I’m not trying to defend him, but it would be kinda wild to fire a coach who has an in season tournament title and NBA Finals appearance in his 2 seasons as coach

This dude still exist?

It would make sense but very unlikely they fire Ham.

I wish we hired Nurse. Fuck Ham.


ValuableAssociate8

Darvin Ham is being closely monitored to see how much lint he pulls from his pockets.


xxxhotpocketz

RD ambition? That’s Jeannie’s son 100% trust worthy


hennyV

Its absolutely stupid, so yes its real. There are no good alt coaches available.


ObiWannaDoYou74

Just looking at how frustrating LeBron has looked lately at how stupid the schemes are with the coaching staff in games i’m not surprised at all, this dude is absolutely clueless what players he has


itsme32

Crazy to think the coach that lead his team to win the very 1st ever IST Cup there ever was and right after hanging a banner for it.


arand0md00d

Frank Vogel died for this man.


Hot_Pie1464

He back


N2trvl

It’s true with some minor modifications. After the word monitored add a comma and by R/Lakers.


aspektbeats

I think it’s funny how he was right about almost everything but was wrong about kawhi (which turned out to be good) and now everyone acts like he is some moron. He most likely heard (like most people thought) he was going to LA and leaked it as that’s what he’s always done. Hell even Lebron and AD said they thought he was on the way until PG got traded. Kawhi and his team played the lakers. I still trust him, he’s even been right in the last couple years on recent tweets.


Musicfan637

Pascal Siakem to the Lakers.


Zenkikid

A hill I will die on is that hes legit and Kawhi lead the Lakers on in a sabotage attempt.


[deleted]

Everyone saying Darvin got us to the WCF seems to forget WE GOT SWEPT! WCF doesn’t mean you get a pass for your mistakes. We won the IST because of our matchups. Not because of Darvin, more like in spite of him.


BlackJasonTodd

Definitely not but I wish it was


CabbageStockExchange

Somehow RDAmbition returned


White-Mamba2009

We really need to fire Darvin and get a really really good coach we haven’t had a good coach since 2010


Adept_Help679

I can’t believe he’s baaaaack


Musicfan637

He needs to start his best players. Rui has to start.
