[ArbitraryWater]

WOW.

[Im Still Ballin]

Damn.

[ArbitraryWater]

Wonder what the deal is.


Now gotta get Buddy.

[ArbitraryWater]

Lakers aren’t a superteam

LeBron- Washed, not top 5, loss a step on defense and offense

AD - street cloths, not top 10, soft, injury prone,

Westbrook - Stat-padder, can’t shoot, doesn’t play winning basketball

[ArbitraryWater]

Before the NBA season starts:

“LeBron is washed”

“AD is injury prone”

“Russ is a stat padder who cant play”

After the Lakers win the Championship:

“LeBron needed a Superteam as always”

“This ring doesn’t count”

[Im Still Ballin]

Shooters! Acquire shooters!

[1987_Lakers]

Meh, lets see who else we can add before the night.

This is weird...What is Schroder doing? How much $ do they have left to fill the gaps?

With what? We have nothing left..

[ArbitraryWater]

Wtf Lakers gutted their roster for Russ

Washington Wizards have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook, 2024 second-round pick, 2028 second-round pick to the Los Angeles Lakers for Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Montrezl Harrell and No. 22 tonight, sources tell
@TheAthletic @Stadium


?!

The **** is Pelinka doing

[ArbitraryWater]

With what? We have nothing left..

They tratded Montrezl, KCP, Kuzma and the pick for Russ?! Ahahahahaha

[Proctor]

I think it'll actually work.

Westbrook / Horton Tucker / Lebron / Davis ain't bad.

They're better and that's a start

Losing Kuzma is a net positive in itself.

Harrell wasn't getting much playing time.

Then it becomes Westbrook for KCP and a pick?

KCP is a better fit for LeBron but the talent upgrade is so massive I don't see how you pass.

I think they'll have chemistry issues on the court but they might be able to work it out and win a title, who knows. Who knows, who knows, who knows.

They need a lot of shooting.

[Spurs m8]

Shameless hahahahahahha

Works harder off the court than on

Lol Harrell is an asset.

A big asset.

They now lost all assets for Russ.

[Shogon]

Lol Harrell is an asset.

He's not. Look at what the Lakers were able to sign him for last year. A two year deal on relatively small money? He wasn't as big an asset as you think.

[ArbitraryWater]

Guys can you edit your quotes of my post, the formatting is out of place with "@Stadium"

[Im Still Ballin]

Let's remember that the trade can't be done until the 6th of August. The trade could be potentially expanded between now and that date.

[MadDog]

I don't think it'll fit, but agree its not as bad as people make out. In a perfect world, I would play them together as little as possible, but we know that wont happen. One thing I will say though is that Westbrook played a little off ball with Harden, and LeBron is a better playmaker. The Lakers might be able to make this work.

[ArbitraryWater]

He's not. Look at what the Lakers were able to sign him for last year. A two year deal on relatively small money? He wasn't as big an asset as you think.

Of course he's an asset.

He's a valued player around the league that should have great trade value.

Lakers just plain bad trading / managing / persuation if Harrell is just another piece getting traded for Westbrook.


Harrell alone should be good enough for Hield, and Hield would have been a much better fit than Russ.

[Shogon]

Of course he's an asset.

He's a valued player around the league that should have great trade value.

Lakers just plain bad trading / managing / persuation if Harrell is just another piece getting traded for Westbrook.

Ok so where were all the teams lining up to sign Montrezl last offseason when he could have been had for cheap money? Come on man, he wasn't as valued as you think.

[bison]

Is this a win for Washington? I don’t think so. They are still mediocre.

[1987_Lakers]

Lol Harrell is an asset.

A big asset.

Not a big fan of the trade, but losing Kuzma & Harrell is nothing to be mad about. Harrell didn't even get playing time in the playoffs and his defense is ass. I will miss Pope.

Anyway we can still land Hield? Maybe for Schroder and a 1st?

[Im Still Ballin]

The only way I'll like this trade is if Buddy Hield somehow gets worked into the equation. An all-time great shooter to offset Westbrook's and LA's shooting woes.

It's probably not even possible, though.

[KOBEtherealKing]

Lakers obviously want to load manage lebron next season with this trade, hopefully he actually does.

[tontoz]

Russ has been very popular with wizards fans. I have a more positive view of Russ than I had previously.

He will definitely take the burden off LeBron during the regular season. His motor runs hot all the time he never coasts in a game.

who cares.

its not about what he was to Vogel, but what he can be in this league.

He's a great spark.

[SATAN]

"Stars don't want to play with LeBron! :mad:"

:facepalm

[bison]

Actually fvck it. This is awesome. Westbrook in LA, always liked this dude. He will take some of the load off old lebron in terms of scoring and ball handling.

Drummond's not on the team ATM. Not sure if they'll sign him.

[Shogon]

You know... if there's any justice in the basketball world... Russell Westbrook will win a Finals MVP in the 2022 season against the Brooklyn Nets.

[Proctor]

Exactly.

You know they're going to find a few people to come in cheap too to chase a ring. It's really not a bad move. Doesn't mean it'll work out, but we'll see.

[Code Breaker]

Casuals are already up and saying Lakers will be unbeatable :roll:

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Good job, now just resign Drummond.

The spacing of Westbrook/lebron/Drummond

Dumpster fire complete. Good job Jeanie buss hahahha

[Shogon]

Exactly.

At the very least, Westbrook should take some pressure off of LeBron. We will see, as you said. And yes, just like the Nets, they should be able to get some ring chasers.

[Im Still Ballin]

Marc Gasol has become even more valuable for this team. Having him dragging a big out to the 3pt line is incredibly valuable for this team -- more so than ever.

[Axe]

Lmao they keep on going for big names.

[Axe]

Casuals are hitting it up and saying Lakers will be unbeatable :roll:
They don't seem to mind that kong is getting older as well with each offseason passing by

If LeBron doesn’t get back to how he played before he got injured the Lakers will be absolutely comical next season. WB is arguably the worst player in the league to pair with LeBron

As others have said, we'll need to see how their roster and this trade ends up. It can't be done until August 6th; other moves might be worked into it.

I'd like to remind everyone about the 2019 free agency period. The Lakers looked bad on paper: Rondo, Dwight, Javale, KCP, etc... It was so bad that most only had them winning 45-50 wins; some even had them missing the playoffs.

We all know how that turned out...

I'm just saying: let's hold off and see what moves happen first.

The Lakers won in 2020 by spamming LeBron and AD. LeBron is gonna be 37 and WB is 33 and hasn’t been the same player since 2017. He also can’t play off ball. Taking the ball out of LeBrons hands and putting in a worse players is yikes.

[Airupthere]

Its done now. Its official. Im sure they will be picking up more pieces. Lol, lebron just never stops.

He doesn’t necessarily need to get back to pre injury status. Westbrook will split pg duties with Bron taking a huge load off Bron. Just depends on how lakers fill out the rest of the roster

[Airupthere]

So lebron is going to cruise in the rs and highjack the finals again?

Not trying to doxx another poster like the low character, insecure bum that you are?...

But I agree with your post, except for the part about needing to put the ball in Lebron's hands..

If Lebron was such a "genius" on offense, Westbrook and Lebron would both get close to their maximum stats (which is possible if Lebron could produce off-ball), and the Lakers would be unstoppable..

But instead, Lebron will dominate the ball, so Westbrook will look like complete dogshit and the Lakers will be needing MOAR HELP all year long.. Can't wait until the trade deadline when the Lakers will be the most active team... offensive genius my ass.. zero #1 offenses in 20 years of playing.. he just teams up with the best talent - that isn't genius basketball (albeit genius GM'ing)

[RRR3]

You’d need prime LeBron and prime WB for this team to work. Sorry mate. At least you got 2020. LeBron will probably leave after you flame out this year though so you can retool there. WB’s contract is scary though.

Why is the onus on LeBron to make it work?

Chuckbrick allowed KD to see two or three levels of help defense every time down and Harden to be spam doubled successfully for a year.

There is no maximizing. WB stinks now. And he was always a shit fit.

Ultimately, you found out that I'm a 6'7" former FIU player, just like I said.

I’m not arguing with you on this because I can’t argue about it without potentially doxxing you. But you are a liar and you know I know that. Whatever.

That's cool.. I'm willing to let it go now.. Just wanted to vent on you one more time for looking up my family, aka being the slimy person you are and expose you as that... Now maybe you'll look in the mirror and do some evaluation on what you see.... like we all must do...

I legit didn’t look up your family tbh. It was just available through google. I didn’t want to post anything at all but you were demanding proof and I couldn’t think of another way to prove it to you without doxxing you. I mean you or your family no harm and I’m truly sorry your dad died.

Yeah, okay... except you didn't find any proof because you found out that I did indeed play for FIU and am 6'7"... so you found out my family member's names for the sole purpose of scaring me into not trashing Lebron anymore (fail).... but whatever, time to drop it, although your condolence is appreciated.

Kneel before the Lakers, B!tches.

[lakerstekkenn]

Kuzma is horrible but he doesn’t take the ball out of LeBron’s hands.

WB takes the pressure & wear off James older legs carrying this team, he's a slashing guard that can hit shots and create for himself him & Davis can carry tload if Davis can stay healthy Drummond played well in the playoffs then sign a three point threat, James can save himself a play point while just jacking up threes, he doesn't have to penetrate then tweak an ankle.

If only LeBron put as much work in on the court, as he does in the GM office...

[DoctorP]

It's an interesting, inspired and desperate pickup. GM Kong throwing all his chips in to go with the talent potential of AD/WB/LBJ/Shroeder foursome over the various pieces. Also, this frees up some salary going fwd instead of paying Kuzma/KCP and Harrell any more which , really, would be foolish at this point.

Whoever they are idk but Ellington, DGreen, DHoward, Mcgee, DRose, Drummond, Carmelo, come onnnn downn.

No consistency.

They traded Kuzma, KCP and a pack of cigarettes for Westbrook. I don't see how this is bad. Also got a good draft player. League bending over to get top level talent (not a Laker/Lebron issue, but NBA issue).

[Naero]

This looks like an unnecessary gambit, but I'll try to be open-minded about it as it plays out. When a team has that much talent, they more often than not find a way to prevail.

I will say, though, that the Lakers didn't really need another superstar, much less a misfit like Westbrook. They already had the second-best duo in the league in addition to the league-best defense; they just weren't healthy enough, mainly owing to the onerous schedule and LeBron's freak-accident injury. They had much room for improvement for challenging the Nets, of course, but they mainly only needed more three-point snipers and back-up playmakers.

I don't think his ball-dominant playstyle will clash that badly with LeBron's, however; he played off-ball often enough with Harden, after all. Plus, he'll probably be the most durable of the entire trio, which'll be especially useful in the likelihood that LeBron and AD miss extensive time. Biggest problems are that he won't improve the team's spacing—especially given his playoffs track record—and he could be a weak link defensively.

All in all, I think he'll work out with the Lakers much better than expected, but it probably shouldn't have been their first move. It seems it would've been much wiser to trade their assets for Buddy Hield, keep sharpshooter KCP, and cull suitable role-players during free agency.

As I said, though, I'll see how it shakes out before I fully judge it. All I know is it'll be interesting. It feels like one of those experiments that'll either prove to be a blockbuster or disastrous; there often isn't a broad grey zone between with high-usage superstars like him.

You all know this trade is still getting worked on and not finalized right? Sacramento might still get Kuz+Harrel and LA gets Buddy Hield+Westbrook.

RR3 looked up my family member's names.. He literally informed me that he knows my sisters name, my mom, and my dad's name... who does that.. i could care 2 bird shits about him or his family.. but he MUST know mine, apparently... he's the biggest bum on this board.. and that's saying something... 8ball is a dork, but he doesn't give a shit who my family members are or their names... Only RR3 does

As much as I think Westbrook is too inefficient for the lakers, I think they're better off.

I mean how far were they going to go with Kuzma, KCP and Montrez? Not very far at all... Westbrook I think can give them a better chance, just need to get some good shooting scrubs to fill out the roster now.

Yep. You knew that after Harden joined the Nets, other title-contenders would need to make offseason splashes like this to compete.

Westbrook still wouldn’t be my first move, but I see where the Lakers were coming from. They simply couldn’t just wait out the Nets with LeBron approaching his twilight years, and Westbrook was the best commodity available on-paper.

It’s dicey, but it was better than standing pat.

That's not the issue though. The issue is that we used up ALL of our assets just to acquire Westbrook. Couldn't we have use Kuz/Harrell/#22 to get Hield and Schroeder/kcp/THT/future 1st to acquire Westbrook? It's kind of crazy to use up everything for Westbrook..

Hell, I would not have minded holding onto kcp if we were really set on acquiring Westbrook.. Essentially
do the same trade but without kcp. Then we could try to move kcp elsewhere or just hold onto him to bring him off the bench as 6th man. Instead we lost him too..

I hope that Hield could be added in to improve the trade, but I don't know if it will. So far, Lakers got the short end of the stick here.

Fingers crossed for the Hield angle.

Either way, I'm imagining a reality, a simulation where this all works out.

I'm thinking back to when everyone was laughing at LA during the 2019 free agency/offseason. A team featuring Dwight, Rondo, McGee, Bradley, KCP, Caruso as important rotation guys seemed hilarious. In fact, most had LA winning 45-50 games -- a 7th/8th seed at best. Some even had them missing the playoffs.

[lakerstekkenn]

KCP is unironically more useful than WB on this Lakers team. A Curry fan of all people should understand spacing cmon now.

They just need Russell WB to play just like Rondo but better that's all schroder was supposed to do this in the playoffs but was a no show it's possible injuries and nerves, Kuzma hasn't improved he's getting worse.

Giannis just won a championship and he can't shoot 3s and is bad at free throws besides 1 game in the playoffs.

The chase isn't over. Hield is still attainable.

THT is still an asset.

THT alone is not enough to make the money work. Kings don't want Schroeder either when they have Fox, who is much better.

You would need to bring in a 3rd team. I just don't know who wants Schroeder and is willing to give up a player in return.

Chicago, Washington, or New York; someone will eventually bite. Schroeder is going to get a reality check; he's not worth what he's asking for. I think 16-18m is what he's worth -- and what he'll get.
