The NBA Twitter exploded an hour before the LA Lakers hosted the Memphis Grizzlies in a regular-season game at the Crypto.com Arena on Friday. Fans went bonkers after a report in Bleacher Report claimed that the Lakers are targeting Dillon Brooks, LeBron James' agitator, in the trade market to address their glaring defensive holes.
Offensive talent isn’t the issue for the Lakers, but the defensive inconsistency continues to be their Achilles’ heel. The Purple and Gold desperately need a point-of-attack defender who can set the tone, serve as an enforcer, and elevate the group through pure intensity. Brooks brings all these elements to the table and can solve a lot of problems that the Lakers' coach, JJ Redick, is facing right now.
The reason why so much chatter on social media unfolded after the report surfaced is the rivalry between Brooks and LeBron. The netizens dropped candid reactions, with many struggling to believe that Brooks and LeBron could be potential teammates in the future.
