Recently, LeBron James‘ Lakers acquired a few players ahead of the NBA trade deadline, including the ex-boyfriend of Larsa Pippen, Malik Beasley. The Lakers acquired him and other notable players in a three-team trade deal involving the Utah Jazz and the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, as Beasley had a short relationship with Larsa, an NFL legend stated that Scotty Pippen Jr. should look to request a trade out of LA. Meanwhile, as soon as he made the comments, fans reacted to it on social media.

The NFL legend is none other than Shannon Sharpe. Beasley joining the purple and gold franchise was seemingly disliked by the former Denver Broncos tight end due to his previous relationship with Scotty Pippen Jr.’s mother, Larsa Pippen.

During the show, Sharpe said, “If I’m Scotty Pippen Jr., I want a trade. Malik Beasley coming to my team I got to go. I’ma fight it.”
