    Lakers played a pretty well tbh for most of the game but then 4th quarter happened lol. You can be the better team for 3 quarters but then you just bend over your going to get F'd

    Reports have been if he leaves, it's for a big market.

    just looking at the numbers, honestly Russ would be way ahead of Booker if not for the Kardashian family bump on social.

    LaMelo and Jarrett are the two most surprising in the East.

    The plus side, if Bron holds and is captain again, then he can start recruiting.

    i suppose the plus side of russ opting in will be that his huge expiring can bring any disgruntled star back and allow us to eat a bad contract to do it!

    ^ Does China allow NBA games? I thought the relationship was severed after the whole Morey situation?

    Our small ball lineup used to be AC/KCP/DG/Lebron/AD

    Now it's a non shot blocking center (Lebron) playing behind the worst POA defense in the league. Fun on offense, useless elsewhere

    no small guards (AC plays big, imo), each one a capable defender in isolation or as part of a team scheme. totally works. has been proven over and over. we simply don't have the personnel.

    when they said after the russ trade that they were going to play AD and lebron up a spot, i fully expected FA to be focused on getting guys like that. instead: small shooters and centers with no offensive game.

    We’re struggling in large part because Lebron isn’t the guy he was 10 years ago. He can’t carry a team without his second best player on both ends - and rightfully so he is 37.

    We’ve brought a third wheel that has a largely redundant skill set with Lebron and so we aren’t really getting any value out of that.

    Right now we got Lebron performing at 100 and Westbrook at 25. I wonder if you empowered Westbrook more, could we get him to 80 and Lebron at 80? And are we better for that?

    Like I said, Lebron playing like an mvp on offence isn’t good enough to win us enough. I wonder if he takes a step back and we try to get more out of AD and Russ and what that would do…

    Step back for AD yes, but Russ is way to inefficient for him to take a step back for. He routinely has as much fg attempts as points.
