    Why does this kind of statement even have legs today? We've had since the 9 turnover game, multiple better games and more efficient, less turnovers and more points. Who thinks that's his ceiling now, or that was a really great game from him?

    The Russ narrative changes weekly.

    The truth? He isn't a good fit.

    Russ figuring out ways to contribute to the team remains the best possible outcome for the team.

    I'm sure Houston will be desperate by the trade deadline to move Wall. They are paying him 40 million not to play, and he's already indicated, that he isn't interested in a buy out, and will opt in on that 47 million he's owed next season. I have no idea why we would be interested in John Wall at all.

    i'm pretty certain we've never had a shred of interest in this trade, and that any buzz is coming from either the houston side or bored writers. my guess is we looked around for russ takers on our terms and found none. houston heard about it and was like "is magic still in charge over there?"

    I’m struggling to watch this guy play anymore, I had to turn this game off in the third quarter. I don’t want to hear that he wasn’t that BAD. What did he do that was that GOOD? Dude is making 44 mil, he was traded for to help us when LeBron is out like this. He’s got 11 points and it’s the 4th. I don’t know how many games I’m going to be tuning in to from here on out, he’s ruined my team, such a shame. No trade is gonna save us because he’s still out starting PG, it just isn’t gonna happen this year. Every step forward then 2 steps back has confirmed that for me.

    Bunch of nonsense..Lebron and AD missing all these games have ruined this season so far. The same way it ruined last season period. If you go out and get whatever fantasy lineup you can come up with next year. If Lebron and AD miss a chunk of the season, that fantasy group aren't going to accomplish jack s*** either. That is the reality of the situation. The Lakers are only going to go as far as those two can carry us. It has been this way ever since we acquired AD. They didn't miss games in the Championship year, hopefully they will be at full go for the playoffs. The way it's played out so far....looks iffy.

    There isn't a team in the NBA playing better than 500 , without their best players playing in a lot of games. I have no idea why Lakers fans think it shouldn't be the same for us.

    If you guys can’t watch the team, just don’t tune in. It’ll be easier for you and you can jump back in for the playoffs if we make it or just settle in for next season. I think that’s what Ron and Abeer are doing.
