When Ben McLemore signed with the Lakers on the buyout market last season, he almost immediately led to one of the funniest tweets LeBron James has ever sent:
He will be heard LOUD & CLEAR!! B Mac Daddy Young Strappy, No he ain’t the OG gangsta, yes he is! https://t.co/OTc0OWUQGH

Unfortunately for him — and the Lakers, to be honest — that was about the extent of his contributions. McLemore never earned the trust of the coaching staff defensively, which is fair, because he is an absolute tire fire on that end.
