They just have to send Russ out with picks to get whatever they can in return.

If I'm running the Lakers I don't do that yet; unclear if they would even be a playoff team after such a move.

But I'm certainly not playing Russ key 4th quarter minutes; he could fill Melo's bench role from last season or just let him sit at home and collect his checks.

If LeBron and Davis can't get those other guys to be at least a playin team then a trade of shipping out future picks for a couple role players just won't make enough difference to matter. In that scenario; might be better to actually explore trading LeBron and/or Davis. Especially if they can get the Pelicans in the trade to send a pick back.
 
Someone please explain to me why anyone follows fake tweeters? It only becomes news if enough people follow and retweet it, but whatever happened to "fool me once..."? Have we become so addicted to social media that we don't even care anymore?
 
If only we could use the f word in the title. It should read, "F*ck the Lakers"
 
The Lakers inherited this karma from the Anthony Davis fucking over New Orleans and demanding a trade bullshit...now it's come back to bite them. It's obvious that playing with Lebron has gotten into Westbrooks head...he needs a sports psychologist. Super star teams filled with players that don't like each other is something Trader Bob was famous for back in the day...chemistry matters, culture matters....talent has a shelf life. Seeing the Lakers implode I think, what's not to like?

People actually do that? (Talk about raising more "why?!" questions... I must just lack the desire for self-inflicted pain and misinformation.) I guess if you mean following related hashtag stuff, that makes a glimmer of sense. But then, why the rampant gullibility if having no knowledge of the source's credibility?

Westbrook had many faults in his game during his athletic peak. Now he's no longer an NBA freak athlete, he doesn't have the skills of players that age well into their late 30's.

Stephon Marbuy, Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, etc there are many dynamic short guards who fell from being stars to out of the league in a year or two around age 30.
 
Look at Isiah Thomas; Finals MVP, I'd aruge clearly above any height of Westbrooks career. He was out of the league at 32; Westbrook will be 34 in a few weeks.

Westbrook is a football player trying to play basketball. He wore himself out getting the triple double crown and lost his juice. He's mentally confused and you can see it written on his face.

If you post things people will believe it.

That was kind of my point. Why willingly subject yourself to being fooled, when that's the push of so much of the platform? If it's me, I'm going to assume every tweet I dig up is b.s. unless the source is clearly legit.
