Fake news
Rich called Rob when the Pistons renounced KCP. He called about KCP. But media now saying it was probably about LeBron because Rich also repps LeBron.

Ya this is definitely more likely it. Rich called about KCP....now we have KCP. KCP can tell Rich how awesome the Lakers organization is and how well they treat folks and how he's a celebrity in LA. Lebron becomes free agent. Rob calls Rich because now they have communicated over the course of the year and have a relationship. Giving us an interview at least.

How do YOU know what they talked about?
Article insinuates the convo was about LeBron...while other reports clearly state the timing of it was right after KCP was renounced and therefore Rich was looking for a team with lots of cap space for 1 year since RIch Paul's clients always bet on themselves.
I'm also unfairly reacting to another article and report by ESPN about this same case where they talk about this phone call but never even mention KCP being the main topic of discussion

Oh I have no idea what they talked about. It could've been 100% kcp talk and not a single mention of Bron...or it could've been 50-50...or it could've been 100% bron and no talk about kcp at all. And all kcp talk could've been through text. Who knows.

the jersey numbering claim is completely false. But...the player names will not be on the jersey. There are a multitude of numbers available though.

I have mixed feelings about Lebron coming over.
I have a feeling its going to be a classic Lakers situation...we get a great or former great...he comes here, gets injured.
Nash (played like 5 mins for us), Howard (although he was injured prior to coming to LA), Malone (was an iron man til he came to LA).
If we do go after him hope its not for longer than a 2 year deal. I guess it all depends on Ingram and Ball. If they show tons of promise then I can see wanting to be more reluctant with Bron. IF they flat out stink then yes I would go all in for Bron bc who else you got?

I just dont want him slowing the growth of our guys or turning him into the type of players that he needs them to be. I'd rather they just grow up together without him, a la warriors, and just figure it out on their own. Ball doesnt need bron to mentor him, he has Magic.

Plus we know Ball and Lebron both need the ball to be successful.

Lonzo distributes the ball quickly. He won't consume a lot of the play clock setting up a play, which mean LeBron can get the ball early in the play and do what he needs to do.

I disagree. Ball does his best work early in transition. He's better than advertised in PnR, but still has some work to do. He's great at cutting and moving off the ball. Once he starts hitting that spot up 3 consistently, he'll be fine playing off ball

How do you mean false? Here's a report by the NY Times on it:

Maybe they changed their minds...jerseys are definitely available without personalization. And without being fake. And no way its all old stock.
