    Well as long as we’re blowing everything up, add in Dennis on a side and trade and bring us Barnes or Hield too.

    You all remember when Bron and AD started following Russ' wife on IG and that kick started this whole rumor. So.... they've known for awhile.

    I am excited for Westbrook to be on the lakers but man Lebron and Russ have different personalities they will clash for sure. Lebron is the old vet hope he can put his ego aside and lead. The rest of the team will follow if he sacrifices for the good of the team. Lebron has to play more Center position for this to work

    Lakers get: Westbrook and Bertans

    Wizards get: Shroder (18 million), Kuzma, KCP, Harrell, and #22

    We get our shooter after all. Not official until August 3rd.

    I don't think they'll have any issues personality wise. Both are very competitive and want to win. Russ and Beard ran into issues because Harden was at the strip club every night, kept the team waiting on him to for the bus/plane, and put himself above all else.

    On the court will take some time, but I think they're smart enough to figure it out. Bron played with JR Smith. Nothing can be more infuriating than that Cavs stint.

    If we keep #22, that’d be a huge win.

    Very mixed feelings about this.

    First, I love all the action today.

    But, I do not like adding Westbrook at all. Wrong move.

    However, once it is finalized I will instantly become a huge Westbrook supporter. Plays hard, super serious, wants to win a ring baaad, relieves LeBron of a big load, makes us a very strong rebounding team (Riles: No rebounds no rings!),

    not worried at all about egos clashing, bron knows how to keep these guys in check

    biggest worry over this trade is losing depth and still not having any shooters

    That would make the Nets a lot better.

    Westbrook is a fiery worker and vocal . He's flawed just like any other player but i don't think he will fall in line to Lebron's passive aggressive leadership style. Lebron will talk to everyone but the guy he has a problem with (both on/off court related matters)
