Every time Westbrick opens his mouth, his trade value requires another 1st round pick as a negotiation requirement.

Why do I have a feeling that the Lakers are going to dominate media coverage even with the playoffs going on? If the Nets lose early it'll probably go into overdrive.

Westbrook is the most stubborn and least self-aware player I've ever seen. This is a major prediction but I don't think he will be in the NBA after next year. Even though he can still play, no team will want his attitude. He will be like Melo before Melo humbled himself. I don't see Russell ever humbling himself.

Lol we just un-stickied the Lakers mega thread and immediately got a new Vogel thread, a new Bron thread, a new Russ thread, there's an Austin Reaves thread, and an old Lakers thread was bumped.
Regarding these Russ comments, Vogel has already been fired. So it's interesting to get a look behind the Lakers curtain I guess, but as far as it "not ending well," I mean, it kinda already ended.
And I've been seeing articles about how many Laker players openly disrespected Vogel this season and never bought in. So there's plenty of blame to go around.

It's what the Lakers and Lebron James do. Look how Jerry Jones markets the Dallas Cowboys.......jokeboy86 wrote:Why do I have a feeling that the Lakers are going to dominate media coverage even with the playoffs going on? If the Nets lose early it'll probably go into overdrive.

Vogel might be the first coach to get fired that I feel happy for. Nobody deserves to coach this team except maybe MJax. Please make it happen, it would be high comedy!

“Russ [Westbrook) never respected Frank [Vogel] from Day 1,” said one Lakers staff member with knowledge of the situation. “The moment Frank said anybody who gets the rebound can bring it up the court, which is just how the NBA is played these days, Russ was like, ‘Naw, I’m the point guard. Give the ball to me. Everybody run. Frank was like, ‘No, we have Talen [Horton-Tucker)] We have Austin [Reaves]. We have Malik. We have LeBron. We have AD. They can all bring the ball up.’ He was like, ‘Nope, I’m the point guard. Give me that s—. Everybody get out the way.
“From that point on, in training camp, it was a wrap, ‘cause now Russ is a fish out of water. He doesn’t know what to do. That’s how that started.”

Vogel is unfairly being made the fall guy here. Imagine having to deal with headcases like Russ and Lebron on a daily basis

Would be hilarious if Westbrook has a halfway decent season next year and Lakers re-sign him to another contract.

That's quite disgusting if it's true. Even though I should not believe things without question, I find this easy to believe because we saw something similar in that game when Vogel first benched Russ. At a moment in the game when the Lakers were down, Russ went to Lebron and AD to supposedly "support them" by telling them that he wished he could help them but Vogel didn't have him playing. You could even see on Lebron and AD's faces that what he said was a WTF moment for them.
