The Steelers were all over Twitter this week with hot takes on NBA free agency opening up. From LeBron James going to Los Angeles and the Golden State Warriors loading up, there was a lot to talk about.
For longtime Laker fans Vince Williams and Malik Golden, the LeBron signing was huge:

For Le'Veon Bell, Terrell Edmunds, Ryan Shazier, and Roosevelt Nix, Lakers fans for all of two minutes, it was also a big move:
I never in a million years thought I would ever be a Lakers fan...??♂️ welp

Golden State is even more of a superteam with the addition of DeMarcus Cousins, and some of the Steelers shared their thoughts:
Are they really gonna start 5 all stars? Has that ever been done before?
— Vince Williams (@VinnyVidiVici98) July 3, 2018
I’m glad I been a warriors fan before all these free agents came ?

Antonio Brown is one player who won't be heading west:
No, @warriors... you cannot have @AB84.

Vince closed out the day with this:
NBA players are playing Chess. We as NFL players need to take note.
