Ironically the call to get Russ will be the impetus for Lebron to end his career as strong as possible.

Could also kill him:francis:

I honestly feel bad for Russ. This roster is so horribly constructed for his playstyle. We did anyone involved think bringing him in was a good idea? The Lakers gotta have the most antiquated FO outside the Pacers
The Lakers paying too much for that man is the biggest issue. I never liked the trade and this is why making a trade to make a trade is bad. No matter what trade LA would have made, without getting a PG, they were going to stink. That said, was Westbrook the right guy especially for these guys, no.

Imagine if Dennis wasn't a dumbass and took that deal. We wouldn't have made that westbrook trade
:mjcry:

Dennis turning that money down. fukked both us and him in the long run.


Word some of these lakers fans so mentally ill they hell bent on blaming Lebron for EVERYTHING that went wrong. No Blame to Pelinka or Buss. No blame on the players who was here that got traded cuz they played trash. Its never anybody else just LeBron. Cuz trust when everything great they don't keep the same energy just that passive aggressive big hollywood bullshyt. But what should i expect Lebron was never their guy they still holding on to kobes ghost smh

I'm more mad at the defense than Westbrook not making shots :francis:.

The open threes and players attacking Lebron is lterally free points for the opps :unimpressed:
That's true.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Westbrook offense is generally the same as bad defense since it turns into opponent's offense more often than not. From horrible turnovers to horrible bricks they seem to all lead to fast break buckets the other way. When Westbrook has the ball I'm confident someone will score within the next 5 seconds... but the problem is that it's the opposition.
:stopitslime:
I've never seen anything like it. Bron is old and playing out of position and still giving the team what they need on one side of the ball. At least when AD comes back it'll be Bron at point-center on offense and AD at center on defense. Russ, on the other hand, ain't giving them any of the shyt he used to be good at but all the shyt he's always been bad at.
:youngsabo:
Could've had last year's team - (THT+Harrell+Schroder) + (Zo+Monk+Dwight). Bron/AD/Rob/Jeanie are all to blame for this one.
:ufdup:

Russ just doesn’t fit but I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s looked this season. The fit is not there

Naw it has nothing to do with fit. Fit doesn’t affect his decision making...fit doesn’t affect his inability to finish...fit doesn’t affect his rebound hunting. He’s just a bad basketball player. He’s lost a step...lost some inches off his vertical. He won’t be good anywhere he plays at this point:francis:

:mjlol: Y’all suffering in here

I remember asking y’all if y’all not worried about this not working before the season and y’all hit breh with a :camby:

I’m a laker fan at the end of the day but this Lebron era has been trash. Russ ain’t going nowhere with that contract for another two years, AD won’t magically become iron man, and Lebron is old. shyt won’t be getting better anytime soon.

Bingo. This "They dont fit" shyt is a skip baeless take and its infected everything. What does it mean don't fit? Can you not turn the ball over? Can you not shoot the ball off the top of the backboard? Can u fukkin score and play defense? Basketball is a simple game

Might be good enough to win a bubble championship. :yeshrug:


Against the 16-24 Blazers, 20-22 Wolves, 17-27 Kings, and the 17-23 Hawks.
That doesn't matter. You guys are picking shyt to blame on Russ everytime Lakers lose.

1st it was turnovers, he's been cleaning that up.

Now it's scoring. Which is weird because the Lakers had a 14 point lead in this very game.

Lakers lost the 3rd quarter in a big way. That's it.

Yall just complaining about shyt.
