    didn’t we already go through this this summer

    God this is sad to see, he’s always been a bonehead but watching him go from league MVP to a total cancer on and off the court has been rough

  3. If they want to win, and can’t trade him they should just cut him from the team

    Will they give up two first round picks this time?

  5. YouStillTakeDamage

    Well the bench experiment didn’t last very long did it

  6. black_squid98

    I truly think Hield and Turner would be better for them

    Wanted to confirm if Russ was ass just one more time. On a serious note, I don’t see anything happening until a team is willing to drop the asking price to a 1st.

    The only Lakers fans who still view this as a possibility are bandwagon fans.

    That contract isn’t being moved in season with the current roster constraints when they’re no where near a title and inside of 3 years of a rebuild.

    People can say what they want, but trading those firsts when they are not close would be dumb. Yeah, one sells everything not nailed down when they have a dtar but they are not even close. Not to mention they have a get out of jail card after the season if they want to run the same nucleus back next year that they would lose if they trade Russell.

    My fantasy team needs him back on OKC. Might as well throw SGA in bubble wrap.

    I’ll give you a hot dog and a pretzel.

  11. Start?

    Haven’t they tried trading since a week after the last season began?

  12. moonshadow50

    Poeltl, Doug & JRich for WB and the 2 picks?

    (Honestly, I think the Heild and Turner package would be good for the Lakers, but not sure why it hasn’t happened yet)

    [HoopsHype] Lakers to start getting their number blocked

  14. Unrelated but related: how much is Russell Westbrook going to make next year? How much would people realistically pay a hitting the market Russ?

  15. Evan Fournier and Julius Randle for Russell Westbrook and 4 second round picks.

    What happened to him coming off the bench damn

  17. raceforseis21

    “Are y’all *suuuure* you don’t want him?”

  18. ReactionProcedure

    From the “no shit” files.

    Recruiting him may be the worst decision LeBron ever made outside the Decision.

    Westbrook is the Cam Newton of the NBA. Both relied in thier athletism (MVP). Both aged like milk. Both can’t accept the fact that thier no longer starters. They both have a giant egos and won’t take a backup role
