On the same night the Lakers got embarrassed in a 42-point drubbing to the Pacers, Los Angeles brought it some new blood to distract them from their position of 10th in the Western Conference.

Lakers traded guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a second-round draft pick to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for guard Reggie Bullock. The 27-year-old Bullock isn’t going to move mountains, but he’s a solid outside threat for the Lakers. The UNC product is averaging 12 points and shooting 38 percent on 6.6 3-point attempts per game, according to ESPN.

One thing Bullock forgot to do before joining forces with the best player in the world is scrub his social media of old tweets bashing him. Back in 2012, when Reggie was a sophomore at UNC, he diminished LeBron’s achievement of willing league MVP for the third time in four years.

One year later, Bullock was back at it–tearing down LeBron’s bandwagon fanbase, something he’ll become very familiar with in the coming days.

I respect Reggie because he still hasn’t deleted the tweets even though NBA fans are subtweeting them like crazy.

It’s put up or shut up time, Reggie.

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
