Then don’t be butthurt that they didn’t inform you, you can’t be complaining about not bringing informed when being informed is preferential treatment already. Like, if you complain, then the whole roster has the right to complain.
I mean, isn’t that essentially what this is? Complaining about whether you deserve preferential treatment. It’s preferential already, which means you don’t necessarily need it to begin with.
But if the team told Luka and didn’t tell the rest of them, that’s just as weird. I would either tell them all, the roster isn’t 10000 people, or I would tell none of them.
It’s not like they were asking for Luka or lebrons opinion- the deals done. You got new owners… that’s informative
I agree. It’s just preferential treatment in the end, which you can argue that no one necessarily “deserves” at all. Like, the point of LeBron being upset is what, he believes he should be treated better than his teammates? I mean, even if you are LeBron, all his history and value, how does the rest of the team view that? I mean, telling Luka and not telling everyone else is in the end preferential treatment for Luka, sure, but I’d feel the same way if Luka was butthurt about not being told either. Like, get over yourself, in the end, there’s no real reason for you to need to know, is there? You signed a contract with the company, the Lakers, not the Buss family. And if they’re having money issues and need to sell the team, why are you expecting them to advertise it? If people are having money problems, I feel they try and take that secret to the grave.
“Why are you upset?”
“I’m not receiving preferential treatment over you, can’t you understand why I’m distressed Rui? I’m better than you and I know it.”
“………… Sure.”
