After the dust settled on the trades, Paul, who had just arrived in Los Angeles, could hardly contain his excitement and immediately posted on his personal social media:
"It's our turn now!"
However, his status quickly became a battlefield for LeBron fans and Kobe fans, and it was incredibly thrilling.
"Kobe is the least talented superstar ever, first he was clinging to O'Neal, then to Gasol, and now he's starting to cling to Paul!"
"The Lakers are the cancer of the League, they got Gasol with some scraps, and now they've got Paul with scraps! It seems like they are the only ones who deserve to win championships!"
"Weren't you the ones who said Bynum and Odom were the Lakers' Big Three, Four Pillars? How come they've suddenly turned into scraps? Odom was the best sixth man last season!"
"And you talk about LeBron forming super teams, isn't this one even bigger? Paul is better than Wade, Gasol is better than Bosh, plus there's Okafor, haha."
