When Bradley is being called a point guard on your team you know things are off. The Lakers had Rondo, he was traded because there wasn't a role for him, so there was another PG.


Rondo was probably even worse than Bradley.

As a point guard or as a player? Bradley is worse than everyone as a point guard.

Bradley never brings the ball up the court and never distributes the ball on offense... he runs to a corner and waits...

How is he a "point guard"...

LBJ is starting to show his age, but the biggest concern for Lakers fans has to be AD. He just plays with zero sense of urgency/energy.

He was... 100%... Even when he's not playing, he's the problem... Because that trade killed this team and he's done nothing to help it on the court.


Westbrook is part of the problem no doubt but there are much other structural problems with the Lakers as evidence by them losing to the lowly Blazers. I’m no Westbrook apologist, he’s been absolute garbage on the Lakers but this loss just exposes the cracks in the armour

Lakers deserve to be where they are. This team reminds me of the 2017/2018 Cavaliers before they made all those trades to get younger. It was LBJ surrounded by a bunch of players past their prime. The team was terrible until LBJ forced them to get younger.

Unfortunately, Lakers are in a difficult situation and can't pull off similar miracle trades to save their season. They basically have nothing of value aside from really one player and future draft picks.

That and a lot of our key rotation players weren't playing... Howard, Melo... No idea why DAJ didn't play though...
Point being, this wasn't on Frank V, can't blame Westbrook... THT was key to us even being in the game... Monk was pretty bad... Johnson was good... Bradley was a mixed bag... Ellington looked good for a while...


Monk was horrible, worst game of his season

He's having another great year, All-star caliber, dare I say ALL-NBA. Yet, you have these absolute buffoons on ESPN. There's this guy called "Jacoby" on Jalen and Jacoby's show, I don't even know his first name, he's been screaming all day that the NBA needs to investigate the Kings for making the deal because according to him it was so egregious.

The reality is that the best player in that deal was Sabonis... Haliburton hasn't shown that level yet.

The problem people had is on the defensive end of the floor. The Kings are going to beat the Wolves, while playing at home, but they're going to give up 120 points tonight.
