Next will be worse. No cap. Bron and russ a yr older. AD a yr frailer

Still holding out hope that some house cleaning can start as soon as this trade deadline. Bottom line if Bron is healthy and AD goes back to AD, we have a puncher's chance to make noise- even this year.

I think have seen it all this point…

THT is what, 20 years old? He outperformed his draft value, had the whole fanbase + Bron gas him up, and it was easier to perform when anything he contributed was considered icing on the cake. Now his contribution is expected and needed, and teams are game planning for him, he struggles and the same fanbase that was gassing him up is now calling for his head on social media, it's a tough position to be in for anyone. Change of scenery might be best for him + Lakers but I'm rooting for him to turn it around.

And what bro? **** a Andre Drummond lol

Time to CRANK UP that trade machine.

No ifs and or buts about it!

The result of letting LeGM, and the “build a superteam” mindset take over the organization…this what a lot of y’all were praising too

While Bron and AD were incredible dumb orchestrating the Westbrook trade, you know the Lakers were gonna go big name hunting no matter what.

This team is 5 games away from being 5 games away.

Was his GM skills being questioned after the Lakers won a title or no?

If it were really up to Bron he would’ve got nothing but old minimum shooters and like a defensive pg lol we’ve seen how he likes to build his teams

The westbrook experiment in theory made sense in terms of reducing wear on tear on Bron from a pg duty perspective. But the rest of the roster didn’t share out. Bron has had to play 5 and that’s def causing more of a workload lol

And him still having to do everything and play at this level I don’t think is sustainable man. Feels real Kobe 2014ish

 

[tupac003]

Here is what I don't understand...

We all saw the reports of the meeting Bron and AD had this summer.

They met with Dame, they met with Demar...then met with Russ...

And somehow they thought Russ was the best fit....

Low IQ.

Given all the parameters of that title, where the entire game had to be altered, not really a good example

And in no world does trading ONE title in exchange for the team heading towards (if they’re not already there) long term issues, make sense. That 2020 title ain’t all THAT either, y’all gotta relax

Wut.

Wut.

Enjoy the 2020 title, we’re not seeing another for a long while…while other teams are developing contenders

 

[Lizakers]

It’s only December.
We’re only 3 games back of the 4th spot. The mighty Memphis Grizzlies.

#StriveForGreatness

Greatness is now possibly getting a 4th seed. This is why you get Russ

And even then most of them won’t even sniff the finals let alone win it all

no need to panic until after the trade deadline

 

[pmatic]

His effort level and attention to detail is a zero.

Sad to say but his deal is guaranteed and I doubt this ownership eats that contract. Hopefully I’m wrong though

And we stand even less of a chance than them as it currently stands
