there's 0% chance of this happening. Rob will cut his losses but he'll pay a premium for it. we def gotta give up a pick but there's no chance that Russ is a Laker and I doubt he wants that. dude plays off that tough guy attitude but he's really fragile. even Kuz out of all people was able to block out that noise of getting bullied and did his thing.

I don't see any team taking on his contract. Even if it's for one year. Hopefully westbrook turns down his player option.

I think his hands are too small. Looks like he loses it on the way to the rim at least 3 times a game.:mjcry:

He def has bad hands. Thats the clearest indication that he’s lost his explosion to me...nobody ever talked about his hands all these years because he could finish over the top. Now he’s gotta use the glass:picard:

Russ plays like a scrub in home games. Other than the Warriors game, I can't remember the last time he had a good home game. He plays a lot better on the road.

I mentionned this like the first month of the season. I don't think he can deal with the pressure of playing at home and he can't deal with the pressure of being a Laker. The teams he's played for: OKC, Washington, Hou... 3 markets where if you win, great. if you lose, who cares. He had some pressure in OKC but he was always behind KD. When KD left, he was playing with house money cause no one expected them to win.

They'll just revisit the John Wall trade. that's an easy move for both teams.

I could see the Knicks doing it because they have so many bad contracts on the books. Randle and Fournier would make the money work. Noel would be a nice add but I doubt he wants to play with LeBron.

Alec Burks is on their books too.

We will finally get LeBron and Randle all along :to:
