LeBron James officially signed his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday and posed in a photo with his agent Rich Paul and general manager Rob Pelinka to celebrate the occasion.
Lakers forward Brandon Ingram found it a perfect opportunity to have a bit of fun with the picture. He photoshopped his head onto Paul's body and Lonzo Ball's head onto Pelinka's body, and the end piece made for a pretty hilarious picture.

Some of LeBron's new teammates had some fun in the comments mostly involving a lot of crying emojis. The Purple and Gold team is young, and they are going to be a fun group to be with for LeBron James, but that's only if it involves a lot of wins.
After James signed with the Lakers, Magic Johnson and Pelinka both released statements. Pelinka said it was an honor that James wanted to join the team.
“This is a historic moment for the Lakers, and we could not feel more grateful and honored,” Lakers General Manager Rob Pelinka said. “When LeBron James – a perennial NBA MVP and champion who is playing at the most astonishing levels of his career – chooses to join the Lakers, it serves as the ultimate validation for what we are building here. However, we all know that the work is not yet done. We will continue forward and do all that is necessary to achieve our shared obsession of bringing banner No. 17 to the world’s best fans.
This group has a good young core and with James, they are only a little ways away from really competing again in the Western Conference.
