It’s been a tough start to free agency for the Los Angeles Lakers, and no one’s taking it more personally than Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist, Flea.
Upon the start of free agency, Flea — and every unrealistic Lakers fan — had high hopes for the team to rebuild their stinker of a roster with a potential combination of LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Jordan, DeMarcus Cousins, etc., etc.:

And we all know how that first meeting with the Lakers and Aldridge went…
LaMarcus Aldridge will not be joining the Lakers, The Times has learned. They were a 50-50 choice but he disliked bball part of presentation

That report was such a gut punch to Flea that he took responsibility for the mess:

(That’s right folks, a Lakers fan had the audacity to complain about his “rough” two years.)
Flea then escalated his displeasure by dropping this bomb:

Which lasted like a couple of hours because he had to take a cheap shot at Paul Pierce signing with the Clippers (a typical defensive Lakers fan response):

Then he shifted gears and went back to being sad:

But wait, the #LAtoLA saga isn’t over yet!
Lakers hoping to undo everything that turned off LaMarcus Aldridge the other night. It's unclear who will be in the meeting for them.

And, of course, Flea’s back too:

Hopefully LaMarcus chooses his destination soon, we’re not sure if Flea can handle any more of this.
