lol. i still remember how negative peeps were saying its been 10 days only into the season and saying how pau was a fluke.

he certainly proved.

What? Russ is damn near 6'5" and a cyborg. Dude has MORE bounce after getting knee surgery. 

don't consider nearly 6"5 to be big. He relies on his athleticism. Much more then kb , pau , Jamison and artest.
You really think playing like this he last a really long time????
. I don't and I love Russell Westbrook but that's how I see it .. Don't think his game will age well. ...

Pau is still underwhelming in the post, terrible defensively and doesn't box out for rebounds. Good for him though.

Kobe is 6'6". He relies and uses it now just like all players do when they're young. Bean was more technically sound at his age but still definitely used his atheticism to a big extent. Russ isn't D-Wade out here, he'll be fine.

do you think Russell has a high basketball IQ ??

LOL.  It takes time, but Russell plays like the world wronged him.  His rage prevents it.

It's higher than Luke Walton's for sure. I think at times he goes a little too fast, but in the past couple seasons he's become much better at decision making, knowing when to attack all the way on offense, and his playmaking is just getting better. The game will continue to slow down for him and when he gets to master it, he'll be more of a weapon than he is now which is even scarier.

Reggie Jackson has asked for a trade. 

 

[Lovetohate3000]

^^very possible...hopefully I'm wrong because he's one of the few players outside of anyone on the Lakers I root for...
Would
love to be wrong and for him to be a good piece for the Lakers to go after. ...

No thank you to reggie. Send him to Denver where he can be the head of the snake. Dwight Howard syndrome. Know your role and shut your mouth

Would Jordan Hill + Ellington for Bobby Schmurda and fillers work ?

Something interesting emerging as tomorrow's trade deadline approaches: Lakers are reluctant to part with rookie PG Jordan Clarkson.

The Front office understands!

think we would have to take back easter island stone looking perk in a deal like that

If the Suns want anything more than Hill or 2nd rounders then screw them.

We'll be happy with the top 5 pick

They already fleeced us once. 

Our entire efforts should be trying to get Shmurda now.

Exactly why I thought they were hiding him on the bench until after the break so no one would ask for him in a trade. Kobe's injury forced him into action. They did the same thing with crittenton

 

[essential1]

If Reggie is available to us in trade. Do it!

That $3.2mil QO is huge in the offseason. Allows us to spend $19mil first then give Reggie his money.

Whereas in FA he will get a max deal and because I don't see Dragic getting a max they'll likely be similar $, and Dragic is such a better player that I'd take Dragic over Jackson if both were FAs and not ours.

Crittenton ended up being a thug tho

I want you guys to be perfectly honest, how much basketball have you actually seen reggie play? His production has gone up as his role has gotten more limited. Dwight is tyson chandler and thinks he's shaq. Reggie is a 6th man that thinks he's westbrook
