1) It feels like the Pels are in a blood feud with Klutch.
2) Zion worships at the altar of his Airness, Michael Jordan, and didn’t fawn over LeBron. Zion’s first game against the Lakers as a rookie was back and forth until LeBron decided to take over in the last few minutes. After Zion scored late LeBron hit a pull-up 3 from 35 feet, immediately stared down Zion from across the court, and then closed out the game to show the chonky prince that he was still king.
3) Ingram clearly still takes the way he was tossed aside by the Lakers personally.

These are all reasons for the Pelicans to want some with the Lakers, but why would the exalted royalty of the LAL franchise want to start shite with our poverty franchise? That's what I don't get. It clearly matters to them and they were deflated after the game last night.

It’s one of those things where a seemingly superior person just couldn’t care less about the supposedly inferior person.

They care so little they post about it on the internet. Again and again and again.

I think you forgot how the blood feud with Klutch started. They tried to force AD out during the season and Mrs. Gayle told them GFY and made them wait until the offseason. Can you believe the gall of this poverty franchise making royalty wait? Blood Feuds tend to have the hatred flowing both ways.

You also have the trade itself. Griff bet that exactly what's happening this season would happen. Every time someone brings up the top 10 pick this season, the Lakers see Griff pointing and laughing and saying "I told you so!"

Fun Bunch is right, some of the slights by the Pels to fuel the rivalry are probably in the Lakers minds fueled by their own insecurities and inability to accept who they actually are.

I'm sure it also doesn't help that Pels fans on social media are full on schadenfreuding the frick out of Lakers fans every where.

They are salty bc it’s becoming clear they lost on the trade bc Ingram is a stud, those draft picks are going to be very valuable in the next few years, and there roster isn’t essentially screwed at this point. I think actual NBA people are starting to figure it out (ESPN media personalities excluded).
