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

Pelinka and Bus had too much dip on they chip. They traded for AD and thought they had the next few years on lock. Then traded for Westbrook thinking they added more firepower but now they learned the ultimate lesson. It ain’t only about firepower but it’s about the right fit too :youngsabo:
You'd think that's common sense

I think Bron wanted something along the lines of the Nets wit starpower

Any Bron Stan that thought this legitimately need to completely just give watching the game basketball up. You had to be a complete idiot to think this shyt would work. For as calculated as Bron is this is by far the DUMBEST deal he could've cosigned on. I really don't know wtf he was this thinking.

Its hella weird because the first trade in all star history was Bron trading Westbrook’s ass for Ben Simmons. How Bron go from not wanting to play with this nikka during allstar games....to co-signing a trade for an even more diminished version while gutting his championship roster in the process.

Makes no damn sense:snoop:

What's funny is when the lakers played the rockets in the bubble playoffs, they double harden and left westbrook open

:mjlol:

Harden got criticized for another “2nd round exit” but I was one of the ones like “hold up :dwillhuh:

Harden that series:
29.4ppg on 50/38/84... 23.2 PER

Russ that series:
19.8ppg on 42/26/54... 12.3 PER

And that was a noticeable improvement from how bad Russ was in the prior round vs OKC.

Skip gonna have a field day showing Westbrick clips tomorrow.
:skip:


Not defending Russ but look at that shyt when he misses. Almost a 4 on 1, and they still let the opps score on them while Westbrook was the only one to at least attempt to stop the guy:francis:.

Matter of fact the lack of defense and hustle on this team is equally to blame as Westbrook missing, probably even more. Especially Bron, Melo, and Ariza :scust:.

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
Ok…

They definitely deserve blame for this but how do you suppose they be held accountable?

In what way can they actually be held accountable??

You want Bron and AD fired? You want them cut?

You want them suspended without pay?

Just exactly what do you think should be done?
