You think he opts out?

We need to stop talking about Westbrook, what indications has he shown that he will leave OKC? To me KD leaving made it even stronger for him to stay in OKC with that loyalty shyt

Why wouldn't he opt out? Even if he re-upped, he's gotta get a long term deal.

What better place than the Lakers to take down GS and get revenge on Durant? shyt, KD will probably encourage him.

nikka we just flipped a #2 overall for a #27 and brook fukkin Lopez ain't shyt to understand. Horrible move plain and simple

Lakers are gonna draft Ball... your #2 is worthless now... If they didn't make this trade you have Mosgov for another 3 years.. Lopez is an expiring contract... More cap space NEXT YEAR WHEN THERE'S A GREAT FREE AGENT MARKET! How fukking dumb can you nikkaz be..

That so called #2 pick got benched..

I think he would much rather do that on his own then jump ships, I just dont see him leaving.

He can't win in OKC. They are locked into that team. Oladipo and Adams are taking up like half of the cap.

Russell showed late last year he was better playing at the 2 and focusing on scoring. You acting like Lakers couldn't still dump those salaries next offseason if it came to that. Why not wait until next offseason when Deng and Mozgov only have two years left and would be much easier to unload.

We all understand why the deal was done, we all disagree with doing it right now. Also this can hinder the development of Zubac as well. Only way this trade is good for the Lakers is if getting that extra first is what's needed to acquire PG now. Otherwise they should've waited until all star break or next offseason.

And he does not care about that, the OKC team will be a mediocre team and dude is fine with it being loyal..maybe he might get tired when hes older and wants out, but he wont leave via free agency. Dude had a loyalty press conference after Durant left. It would be a bad look and he cares about his image.

We get PG now or in 18 regardless. Trading MOZGOV was great for us. Russell is an average player.

Why not just offer Russel, Randle and the 27th for PG? Hell they probably would have taken Mozzy or Dengs contract back :hhh:
Idk breh.. I thought shyt would change when we got rid of coke and Mitch..

If they sign LeBron though I won't be watching another game. shyt is blasphemous
