Earlier this week, the Los Angeles Lakers failed to land Kyrie Irving in LA as the Dallas Mavericks acquired him from the Brooklyn Nets at a high cost. In light of this, recently, LeBron James expressed his disappointment in an interview on national TV. However, surprisingly, following his interview, King James drew some flak from Russell Westbrook‘s brother, Ray Westbrook. This in turn prompted NBA fans to flood social media with some strong opinions of their own.

Ray’s remarks soon started circulating on the internet and eventually elicited the attention of the fans. Fans couldn’t resist and reflected on the affair on social media by relaying some not so kind words for the Lakers superstar’s brother.

Ray Westbrook’s sarcastic comment about LeBron James

Russell Westbrook has been involved in a number of trade rumors for the Lakers this year. In the initially proposed deals, he was supposed to get traded to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie Irving if the deal went through. However, nothing went as planned and the Ankletaker ended up joining the Mavs. Meanwhile, in a recent interview with ESPN, James expressed his disappointment over the trade fiasco, which clearly indicated that he wanted Russ traded. Therefore, in response, Ray made some sarcastic comments about LeBron James.

In other words, the 2017 MVP’s brother seemingly didn’t like the statements of the four-time champion. He was certainly unhappy with James publicly insinuating that he’d have no issues with the triple-double machine getting traded.

Fans chimed in on Ray’s remarks about King James

Meanwhile, shortly after Ray passed the remarks, NBA fans entered into the scene. They took to Twitter to express their thoughts and opinions on the matter. Most fans supported the 19-time All-Star and inferred that the Westbrook camp was being too dramatic. On the other hand, some stood beside Russ and his brother.

The Lakers might have failed to acquire Irving but they are reportedly trying to acquire players that would bolster the strength of their roster. According to a recent report from Doc Louallen, the Lakers are in talks for a 3-team trade deal with the Detroit Pistons and the Philadelphia 76ers to land Tobias Harris and Furkan Korkmaz.
