So glad Westbrook is gone. What a complete fcuking mess that dude is. Can't believe they actually made a move and got a legit haul for him. Currently sitting 5 games out of the #4 spot in the west. I don't know how that's possible with how horrible they've been playing, but fcukin A. Let's do this.

I'm excited how we drastically improve our 3pt shooting
Vanderbilt is borderline elite defender for me. This dude has the size and speed to produce on both side of the ball. Sometimes he falls asleep, but he recovers pretty quick. I know Darvin Hamm is happy about V.

The Lakers are trading Thomas Bryant to the Nuggets for Davon Reed and three second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

Pelinka dealings and wheeling. TB did really well in AD's absence but it's clear that he'd be cooked in the games that are must wins. Opens up minutes for Wenyan and Vando - who are better defenders.
Let's see what Pelinka does with these 2nds and 2029 first. Read they're talking to Nets for a wing. Would love to get starting caliber 3&D wing. Finney-Smith will be ideal.

Damien Jones was traded to Utah...another solid move bc he was on the books for next year. Pelinka fleecing Ainge is something I never saw coming.

If no more trades come in for the Lakers -- this is what Rob Pelinka and team were able to accomplish:
— 🦉 Lakers Vino (@VinoUncorked) February 9, 2023
Lakers In:
- Rui

- Vanderbilt
- Bamba
- Reed
- 3 Second-Round Picks
Lakers Out:

ESPN Sources: The Wizards are working on a contract buyout for veteran G/F Will Barton, allowing him to become a free agent. Barton, 32, has had a limited role with Washington this season, but started 71 games and averaged 14.7 points for the Nuggets a season ago.

...and here's the perfect buyout candidate for Lakers.

D'Angelo Russell is shooting the league's 2nd-best percentage from mid-range (51.1) and 7th-best on layups (68.6).
— Joey Ramirez (@JoeyARamirez) February 9, 2023
He's also shooting career-highs from the field (46.5), 3-point (39.1), two-point (54.6), and free throw (85.6).
