“Gonna Hurt Me More Than It Hurts You”: Snoop Dogg Tears Into LeBron James’ Teammate After Ernest Plea to Lakers Owner

We are inching closer to the February 8 NBA trade deadline. And the Los Angeles Lakers still have not made any moves to improve their roster. LeBron James & co. have been struggling since they lifted the inaugural NBA Cup last month. They have fallen to the 9th spot in the Western Conference standings with a 22-23 record. Lakers Nation expects the front office to pull off a mid-season miracle like last year and turn the season around with some great moves.

One of the biggest Lakers fans, Snoop Dogg, made an earnest plea to team owner Jeanie Buss while tearing into LeBron James’ teammate for his inconsistent form.

“Jeanie, this is gonna hurt me more than it hurts you. We have to move some furniture,” the rapper said. Snoop requested the Lakers owner to make some trades before the trade deadline to improve the current roster and end the team’s struggles.

“Get us some young guns out there,” Snoop added. According to him, the Lakers freeze up when a young team shows up in town. He gave an example of Ja Morant and how well he was playing before getting injured.

The rapper also commended the Lakers superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis for playing great this season. This season is the first time since the Lakers’ 2020 Championship season that LeBron and AD have been healthy at the same time for such a long stretch. However, Snoop tore into his doppelganger on the Lakers squad.

Snoop Dogg slams his Lakers’ squad look-alike

After his plea to Jeanie Buss, Snoop Dogg singled out Lakers Forward Taurean Prince and slammed him for his inconsistent form this season. “You can’t be looking like Snoop Dogg… and not making it,” Snoop said. There have been several memes on social media about Taurean Prince looking like Snoop Dogg. The rapper acknowledged the hilarious resemblance and tore into the forward for not playing well while looking like him.

The Lakers acquired Prince last summer from Minnesota and expected him to be a two-way presence on the team. But he has been highly inconsistent all season. Prince is averaging 9.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He shows glimpses of greatness some nights and falls flat on others. Jeanie Buss might consider trading Prince among other players to acquire a more consistent star for her team.
