Any news? I'm glad to see Pippen Jr. with our squad. Christie kinda reminds of Kuz…hopefully he develops into a good shooter.

Next 2 weeks are gonna be amazing or a complete disaster lol

There is reports that Kyrie wants to come to Lakers (even if it's for $6M TMLE) - which I find laughable. Why would he do that lol. But, if he can force Nets to trade him to Lakers before his opt-in deadline (36M contract) - then Lakers are in business. We will see - all rumors for now. It's nothing till it actually happens. They would have replaced Russ with Kai and that's a very good start to the off-season.

Need to get wings who can shoot 35% from 3 and play defense. That's what the Lakers need and a big that can play next to AD.

Why would Brooklyn take Westbrook . I would let Kyrie go take a 30M pay cut (LOL) before helping him out and taking a complete slug in Westbrook. It just makes zero sense in my opinion for the Nets to make a deal with LA

Where did I say Nets will be getting RW?

Anyway - moot point now since Kyrie has said he will finish out his contract with Nets. Nets can trade him wherever they want now though. But, I doubt anyone (other than Lakers - bc of Westbrook) wants to pay 36M to Kyrie.

A trade including Kyrie and Westbrook was never going to happen. It was fool's gold for every Lakers fan

Not my fault that your boy LeGM ruined the roster by wanting Westbrook.

We can't even give Russ away. Y'all have fun watching the Lakers next year i'm out unless he gets traded or gets hurt. I've stuck thru some god awful lottery teams and no hope seasons over the past 2 decades but he's a special kind of torture that even I cannot endure

Do think Lakers will trade Russ. They are right to say no to trading 1st round picks AND taking on long term contracts. It should be one or the other.

Also think - if Lakers do keep Russ - he'll be better if Lebron and AD are healthy and Lakers add right pieces around him - ie shooting and defense.

I'm not in favor at all at giving up that first round pick. I rather take on some poop contracts instead.

Still hoping Russ grows a f**king pair and realizes nobody f**king wants him here and doesn't opt in.

I rather suck for a couple more years than bring in an even bigger b***h than Westbrook. At least Westbrook will play 80 games.
