    It means LeMarcus wants to play with LeBatum on LeTeam France.

    It can be taken as him wanting Wes to stay, and him wanting batum out.

    Both things I could be happy with

    Sounds like LA has made things clear to Olshey that he needs to sign another hustle guy. This is a good thing.

    It has to mean something just based off the fact that LA never really is a guy on social network that much. Also because this is the biggest decision of his career. The timing of this tweet. I know people have been paranoid but I don't know, I just feel like there is something to this.

    I read it as him saying always be the laziest one on your team. Is that the attitude we want of a 100 million dollar player?

    I dont think he means team as in basketball team, but he means it like the way black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.

    So, it sounds like he wants to play with Russell Wilson.

    Playground rules.

    When you are picking your team, do you pick the best guys - or the ones who will defer to you and let you be the star? Are you playing to win, or to look good to the crowd?

    Sounds to me like LMA just came down on the side of winning. I'm good with that.

    Funny thing is, I don't know if that means he is more likely to stay or go.

    And when you ARE the patient - you're Greg Oden.

    It sounds like Dame and LA are sending a message... who to, I don't know?
