Twitter Reacts to LaMarcus Aldridge Reportedly Crossing Lakers Off His List
Free agent LaMarcus Aldridge met with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, and by late afternoon, he had reportedly already crossed them off his list. That news and the subsequent reports about how the Lakers' presentation was conducted gave the Internet an opportunity to have some fun.
Mike Bresnahan of the Los Angeles Times broke the news Wednesday afternoon that Aldridge will no longer be considering the Lakers as a potential landing spot:

Bresnahan went on to explain what went into the big man's decision:
"Aldridge was floored in a good way by Houston's analytics, on-court projections in their presentation. Not so with the Lakers.

Fans used Lakers star Kobe Bryant's involvement in the presentation to flood Twitter with jokes and memes about the Lakers' situation:
