Remember that weird picture of Adam Levine the Lakers posted Tuesday night to try and lure LaMarcus Aldridge to Los Angeles?
Lakers had to delete their tweets wooing LaMarcus Aldridge because NBA teams complained
Well, they had to take it down. As well as all of the other tweets they posted with the #LAtoLA hashtag. Apparently some of the other teams in the league didn’t like them, even though the organization had cleared it with the NBA beforehand.
Per league source, Lakers' #LAtoLA tweets weren't deleted out of sheepishness, but rather by NBA request after other teams complained
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) July 2, 2015 Lakers, per same league source, cleared the #LAtoLA tweet plan with NBA legal dept beforehand. But still honored request to delete them.
— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) July 2, 2015 Probably for the best. That picture was way too weird.
Here’s what some of the other tweets said, per Deadspin:
It’s 9:01pm PT and Mitch Kupchak is walking in to meet with @aldridge_12 #LAtoLA [cringeworthy picture of Adam Levine in a backwards Aldridge jersey]
