Ramona says it has crossed a line, but do we know if anyone is actually offended?
Yes. Ramona.
I listened to both Kuz's and Lonzo's youtubes, I thought it was made out to be way worst than it actually was. I was expecting like Lavar Ball levels at least.
Both vids seemed pretty mild to me. It's a way off from the stuff that happened between Dlo and Nick Young.
I think Ramona just want clicks to be honest.

Have not watched either video and don't intend to any time soon. I mostly only care whether they help the team win. Having a bunch of squares who always lose ain't my thing.
Tone what down? All year we saw them + hart/BI blasting each other. Clearly Zo/Kuz are more comfortable with getting some shine off of it...... in the offseason. If free agents let this sway them then they are soft. Go play and rot in Toronto.
Idk what some of you guys listened to trying to downplay this, but Ramona made it sound the Lakers were upset it. Her latest tweet sounds pretty upsetting too. _________________ Tacos

Love Kuz and zo. this is funny AF.
I enjoyed the roasting they did all year tbh. It was especially funny when IT and Frye came on.

From the Lakers’ perspective, I doubt it's about either of them getting offended. I think it's more of an image/brand thing. The new regime has worked tirelessly since day one of changing the narrative surrounding the team by rebranding PR wise, and also implementing a certain kind of culture basketball wise.
Look at it this way: can you imagine this sort of thing happening in the Spurs locker room? I can't. I think the Lakers want an image/reputation that's closer to something of that mold. _________________ “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.

now if Deng and Travis Wear start a social media beef....then we have real problems. It could get ugly with Wear going after Deng for really being 43 years old....and Deng calling Wear a G League, 10 day contract, roster fodder wannabe.
I don't come here often, and i'm not based in LA, so forgive me as I ask
What DID Lonzo/Kyle do that's so immature?
Kuz did this
Lonzo responded with this
Thank you Fracture! Would you say that their relationship is "fractured"? _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!

Both of them are just kids (early 20s), who did stupid things. Of course the FO would be pissed, just as a parent would be pissed if their kids acted inappropriately. Does not mean said parent is going to disown his/her kid.
Seriously, Lonzo is a far way off from stealing sunglasses and causing an international incident requiring the intervention of the presidents of 2 countries. I still think - compared to the above - what Lonzo did is pretty mild.

For the record, Kuz has better visuals (Zo has NONE) but his lyrics are weaker. _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!

That's a rather strong way of phrasing what she said.
Can you please say what she said as I can't play it?
She said that it's made people inside and out of the organization do a "double take". What she said really wasn't all that strongly worded. It was her opinion that it's a bad look (which I agree with) mixed in with her saying that people in the organization have taken notice. That's about it.
And then confirmed that the Lakers are actually “upset”.
Her latest tweet now says “no one’s happy about it”. _________________
If these guys are actually joking around, it's cool. However, it comes across as extremely immature, and they need to get their (bleep) together before the season starts.
Aha, the plot thickens! Thanks epak.. evidently these guys have a lot of time on their hands _________________ Starting Lakers Dynasty6.0! NOW!!

You know what's annoying? The only person who has the right to decide whether or not something crosses the line is the one involved. "OOH MAH GAWD, YOU CROSSED DA LINE!". I don't know why but find the reaction to so much of this is annoying as F to me. Shut the gd hell up. My best friend and I roast each other WAY more than this non-sense. Now how this looks to potential FA's is another matter.
No, your employer is the one who gets to decide what crosses the line when you are engaging in behavior with other employees that is a liability. This is the case in nearly every workplace in the world. And you cannot do things that reflect poorly on the public image of your employer. This is basic job 101 stuff that everyone should have down by the time they've been on their first job for a few months.

Tell us more about the real world.
And how our jobs are apples to apples with NBA players'.
Riveting stuff.

They are contract employees and it probably isn't stated in their contract what they can do or say. The employer has the right to trade them, but they still get paid _________________ Previously LBJ23
