2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

Well...Milwaukee is pretty damn good, and playing great right now though. We could have tried to double Giannis or force him to give up the ball some times. He wore AD out, that's twice this year. Oscar pissed him off with those AD, is the only guy that can stop him stuff.

 

The longer Chris Paul plays, the more irate I get that Kobe never got the chance to win 6 and 7 titles or more. That veto ruined so much, it still resonates.

 

That's the way it goes, I think he has the brains and skill to pull a MJ, and change up his game. He has to come to the conclusion first though.

 

He ain't gonna become Richard Hamilton all of a sudden. Screening and rolling, diving, and spotting up for a J are the most you will get from Lebron off ball. Anyone expecting more is fooling themselves.

 

Get on the block and drop that fade away jumper..He still has the lift to pull that off, and he's 6'9.

Lol...he could do Julius Randle stuff. Might be why Randle thought he and Lebron wouldn't work.

 

What is this nonsense? Russ isn't failing because of Lebron, he's failing because he sucks - he's a limited player with above average athleticism which is no longer all world.

Honestly who in their right mind would want Russ as the main initiator off of anything over Lebron freaking James? Russ can't hit 3's consistently, he can't hit pull up jumpshots consistently, he can't finish at the rim consistently. OTOH he can consistently have unforced TOs.

Take all that away and if you had prime Russ, guess what you can stick Lebron in the corner as he is very good catch and shoot 3 point shooter who can cut to the basket as well. Lebron shares every bit of blame from bring Russ in as LeGM but as a player this isn't on him

 

FACTS

 

Who else is just refreshing, praying something has changed?

Don't attack the poster.

I'm just giving him a Twitter site he can visit.

 

Two separate things. I'm talking the Lakers in general moving forward. The Lebron running s*** is about up, he sits too much. Get rid of Russ and if he continues to sit, it's going to be the exact same results. Just like last season. It's compounded by AD doing the same thing. Fire Vogel, waive Russ, that's treating the symptoms. I want to see these guys play out the season and the playoffs. If they can't do that, they are the biggest problem we have.

 

LOL..Yall don't get it, I'm not attached to any player. Russ, Lebron or AD...they will all be gone eventually. I will still be a Lakers fan. I was a Kareem Stan though. I freely admit that!!! I just think that it's more to this s*** show than Russell Westbrook.

 

russ can only be successful on a team that gives him the ball and lets him run wild. and even then, he's not the same athlete he was 5 years ago because he's getting older. aside from that, he can't shoot or play D. put him alongside two other guys who need the ball to be successful and it's a recipe for disaster

 

I wish I could believe that, Ray

 

Stay tuned

 

According to Berman of The Post, their whole roster is available.

I'd be much more interested in them as a trade partner than Houston because you would be trading for actual NBA players.

I'd center it around Randle and Russ then hash out whether it's Fournier contract or Kemba and Burks contracts and if THT is getting thrown in on our side. Lot of mixing and matching options. Being the Rose homer I am, we could flip injured point guards--Nunn and Rose. I'd also look to flip DJ for either Taj or Noel, either would serve as nice upgrades.

 

Westbrook for Randle would be a miracle, even if we have to package the 1st round pick and THT
