I doubt that clown has any sources and I highly doubt there's a trade out there worth parting with Russell.

Pass up Porzingis, dump No. 2 pick before end of his rookie season. That would be swell...

I'm pretty down on our front office but even they wouldn't do something like this.

Well that's that. Didn't think the sources were very credible anyway.

If Lakers traded Russell, I'd be as sad as I was when Eddie Jones got traded. Not because I thought Eddie Jones was the best player or anything, there's is just something about drafting a player and watching them develop as years go by. Best part about following a team imo. That and winning rings of course

Anyway, I'ma need someone to use that GIF where Griffin is punching the equipment guy with Doc in the background and replace the equipment guy's face with Byron, Griffin with Russell, and like Mitch in the background.

The Lakers front office has probably had talks on many of the guys, it's what front offices do. Doesn't mean it's an active position they're taking but they wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't pick up the phone and listen to offers or make some calls of their own to keep their fingers on the pulse of the league...
Doesn't mean anything is really in the works, just means they have been doing their jobs
This is where things get blown out of proportion and fans have mini meltdowns...lol

What's funny is all the LA beat writers have been saying this since Russell was drafted yet some unknown on the east coast says Lakers are trading one of them and twitter goes insane...lol

"This" being that they're the back court of the future? Or this that they're putting him in trades? Because I don't remember the later from LA beat reporters.
