Whoever thought pairing Westbrook with LBJ would be a good idea is not good at basketball. In fact anyone who thinks pairing Westbrook with anyone is a good idea is not good at basketball.

Go read posts or articles from the summer. Tons of fans and analysts were saying how great the Lakers would be, how they have all these future hall of famers and veteran guys like Rondo, Dwight, Melo, Ariza, DeAndre, Bradley, Bazemore. Then they have youth in THT, Dunn, Monk. Many saying they would be dominant or the title favorites. Think they may have even been a betting favorite.

There were certainly many of us who thought this roster was a joke and likely to fail just as it has, but that was far from a consensus.

I am just taking Westbrook, I can’t stand his game.
 
I think our current squad would beat these bums in a 7 game series, they’re so bad.
 
They started off tonight 2-for-21 from the field and 0-for-12 from 3. At home.

Raptors are shooting 67%
 
I'm recalling a post from a while back where a poster (HCP?) bumped into Russ and shared his optimism for the Blazer rook from Webber State who hadn't even played a summer league game yet. Westbrick basically wouldn't play along and talked trash about how he was going to bust him up. What a dick.

He's got a 50+ Million dollar player option for next year... whats the chances he'll decide to run it back with the Lake Show again?

I find it funny that Russ can’t handle people calling him westbrick but had no problem disrespecting everyone that played against or looked at him wrong back when he was “good.” He deserves everything he’s getting right now, minus the family/personal stuff

Scottie was handling their whole squad. LBJ didn't like it and tried to start shit. Scottie no sold him. Lakers take the L.

 
It really seems like there is a chance we could see LeBron and Davis traded next season.

I doubt they do it in the summer; they probably try to flip westbrook on an expiring and get more washed up vets. But in December or January when that doesn't work, their barely in the playin, and LeBron has talked about leaving to whoever drafts Bronny.... wouldn't the Lakers have to look at pivoting directions to go young and rebuild?

Davis is younger and has a few more years under contract so maybe they could keep him. But it doesn't seem like there would be a reason to keep a 38 year old LeBron on an expiring contract with no chance to contend.

Well, in the meantime I'll have fun eating these sweat sweat Lakers tears.

If we can find a Scottie Barnes with one of our two picks in the lotto, our entire trajectory for this rebuild will change.

I was saying the same thing to Chris last night. Barnes is a great example of a rookie that can help you right away.
 
LOL…..Saying you wouldn’t trade for one of the Mt. Rushmore players in the NBA simply because you don’t like his attitude right now.
 
Wow. Correct my math if I’m wrong but if Lakers lose on Tuesday and Spurs win, the Lakers are officially out of the play-in. Unbelievable. An all time collapse from winning the title 18 months ago. I knew Westbrook would ruin them but I didn’t think it would be this bad. Meanwhile, fans are saying if LeBron and AD were healthy all season, they’d be 4 seed. Um no lol.

Yes this is correct, any combo of 2 Spurs wins or Lakers losses and the Lakers are done. There are 8 possible games left of these two teams, so the Lakers would need 7 of those 8 games to go their way. Meanwhile, they are in the middle of a 6 game losing streak.

Very possible the Lakers are eliminated Tuesday, or if not likely by Thursday.
