I gotta admit when I'm wrong but Russ is the WOAT acquisition in Laker HISTORY

[10bandz]

Your franchise was literally one of the worst run, worst coached (and somehow, the most pompous) organizations in the league before he got there.

Bron should've went to Philly so that, that "young core" of 1 all-star caliber player and 2½ bums could've been perennial 10th seeds.

yeah and it was KOBE who got Jim Buss fired so Bron would come here. And now Bron has ruined all that

worst bbiq i've seen in a long long LONG time.

Idk how far LeBron and AD extended themselves trying to convince Pelinka to get dude, but they should be held accountable for that

esp with the Hield deal being nixed at the 11th hour. Not saying that woulda been a good trade or made this team better, but you at least coulda had some wiggle room to work with. Other thing trading for Russ fukked is that they couldn't fit any deals bigger than a vet min or MLE, except Caruso's potentially. Pelinka fukked that up, but other than that, this roster is strapped. Nothing you can do except move like THT plus 3 other guys for a good player

Why were his stints in Washington and Houston so short?

 

[Rigby.]

Skip gonna have a field day showing Westbrick clips tomorrow.

The after that 1st 3 pointer is the worst thing right with Russ. I don't know how a player who has seen everything, every level of basketball, every stake, still displays such horrendous decision making. And it's not even a motor thing. He just is that dumb.

Why were his stints in Washington and Houston so short?

Well, Washington and Beal both vouched for him to return. He was traded because he allowed it

 

[Damnshow]

I had like couple percentages of hope that maybe him and Bron talked about what roles they gonna do. Turns out russ is indeed the same russ he always been.

This skirt wearing fakkit can't make simple plays that a god damn rookie would understand.

yes you do know, and don't drag AD into this as if he is some independent thinker here

Westbrook has no place in a Lebron offense

They didn’t convince Pelinka. They forced him to make it. In fact, Russ and AD were holding meetings by themselves with free agents. Pelinka is just a mindless puppet.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Me and [B]@CantStop[/B] been saying take the ball out of Bron hands and let Russ run the show.

Put Trust in Russ, and watch wins pile up.

 

[Drip Bayless]

This kinda stuff is a perfect example of why you can’t treat athletes opinions as gospel
LeBron understands basketball at a high level and still thought Westbrook would be a good addition to his team at this stage in his career

 

[2 one 3]

Bron gotta eat this one man…


Who else was out there last off season buddy & Beal right?


And you choose Russ…?


This is one struggle ass season for the Lake show man

 

[Kinguno]

Lowkey thought this is how Bron sets up his exit out of LA on some he was “pushed out” narrative

if he goes to Philly after leaving the Cavs they win one and half rings. Then he could’ve went to LA after two years.


But still we can’t ever forget this Kobe Bean dying mere hours after Bron passed him on the scoring list. Then Bron handled business and won the title for Kobe which counts (in my opinion for Kobe)

But then if you don’t win multiple with his level of talent like other Laker greats he becomes a flop even though the league is the most difficult to win in as time goes on.(these last Five years proved it from the KD Warriors to these COVID rules to the level of talent from these guys not even 24 yet like Luka who has twice in the playoffs had to face the Clippers who were built If not as a super team but to win multiple championships)
