I'm not mad at AD. It was that stupid Russ trade that fukked them over. The guys they sent for him could have either stayed or been traded for better pieces. CJ Mccollum was out there at one point.

Breh, AD being a weak ass 2nd option is one of the biggest reasons the Russ deal even happened. fukk that nikka :russ:

Lost? That was the most lobsided trade in history. They sent out

Ingram, Lonzo and Hart
3 1sts
3 pick swaps

No team has ever gotten more for a player. And one of those picks turned into Darius Garland. The Pels got the whole buffet selection with that haul…


& what do they have to show for it besides 1 trip to the playoffs via the play in tournament?

Lakers won a chip. Unless New Orleans can win a chip or 2 then LA won the trade.

Lonzo & Hart aren’t even in New Orleans any more. Pels would have did whatever they could to keep them if they thought they could be apart of a title team.


The Westbrook trade is far worse

Yeah but ya'll won a chip off that trade.... What has Russ got you?:comeon:

AD is a problem but he ain't THE problem

We won a Corona title. I have my doubts he would’ve survived a real playoff run seeing his drop off ever since. Imo he’s a thousandaire man’s Nerlins Noel and nothing more. :ehh:

Plus I’m not saying that AD is the primary problem on the team, but those things I brought up helped to make our role players expendable in exchange for a superstar that was supposedly going to take some of the load off AD’s scoring responsibilities and feed him easy buckets.

They fought hard but ran out of gas. Fox was short on those last few jumpers.
Yeah, they were too convinced with getting 3s when they had some open basket opportunities, nothing that a film session can't fix. I'm proud of this team though, they've got grit.

Now they just need defense and to cut out the fouls.

That plan wasn't a bad plan..... The Lakers should have known Russ wasn't it.
