It's hard to put into words how disastrous that Westbrook trade was.

Don't think anyone on the PC board would have made that trade.

Pelinka should have put his foot down.

I've never seen a player get more overrated based on a couple preseason games than THT.

With how bad Pelinka has been the past few years I honestly think he thought it was a good trade too.

If the Lakers had a half decent record, LeBron would be in serious contention for his 5th MVP. Life is just unfair

He kind of did it to himself by going to a franchise that had been dysfunctional for years and then putting an inordinate amount of faith in their terrible front office.

Westbrook truly has done the unthinkable by somehow being even worse than expected.

He did exactly what was expected.

You can't knock the guy for his consistency.

Lakers should legitimately just cut Westbrook so the coaches don’t have to play him. You made a terrible decision trading for him. Cut your losses instead of doubling down. Putting Russ back in tonight was a god awful decision.

LeBron has more seasons where his team was the reason he didn't win the MVP than seasons where he won MVP.

LeBron was a +11 in 40 minutes. Chuckbrook was a -23 in 37 minutes. I haven’t hated a player this much in a long time.

Can John Wall still play? Basically the only dude in the league you can trade Russ for, unless Morey loses his mind and accepts him for Simmons.

Yeah the Front office needs to figure out a way to get Westbrook off this team.

Rarely has a team made a win now trade that has backfired on them so much, atleast that I can remember.

That was a preview of the playoffs wasn't it?

LeBron about to pull off an unlikely comeback and Westbrook comes in with a few momentum killing plays
