LeBron's just not a good GM in general lol. Loves himself the big names.

Absolutely. Deron, Korver, Wade, Rondo etc.

LeBron is so stupid for trusting the Lakers. This is quite literally the worst trade they could possibly make. Sorry but I’m so pissed right now. You already know AD’s weak *** won’t play the 5 either so they’ll be running Westbrook/Bron/AD/Center lineups. The thought of that makes me want to projectile vomit all over Pelinka’s gelled up hair.

Woj confirming as well. Guess the Buddy deal is dead. What an absolute roller-coaster in 5 minutes. Giving up all this for Russ is objectively an awful trade, especially when the other option was trading fewer assets for a top 5 shooter.

What a disaster.

Taking a break next season. This trade killed the last few years of Bron’s career.

Hield is a career 40.6% from 3 on 7 shots a game. Chuckbrook is a career 30.5% from 3 on half as many attempts. I’m sick rn.

There’s zero chance in hell that LeBron is driving this. LeBron knows how well he does with spacing and he knows how much the Lakers lacked it last year. Pushing for a Westbrook trade would make him a complete moron.

Hahahaha this is so funny and ridiculous it might actually happen :lol: :lol: :lol: .

What a disaster it would be to pass up keeping KCP AND Hield just to have neither and get Westbrook to hog the ball and provide negative spacing. And for those rightfully angry at Pelinka, definitely be angry at LeBron too. Just goes to show there is absolutely 0 correlation between player goodness and how much they know about other players. Arguably the smartest mind in history wants to handicap himself with no spacing in his last stages :banghead:

Why is he so eager to get rid of KCP? He's the only shooter on the **** team

You really think that a move like this can be done without his approval? At the very least he's fine with that idea

This might cause some problems next playoffs when there's no spacing and Russ is forced to play C but it's going to do wonders for both of their legs in the regular season.

Probably not but I really just can’t imagine him being this stupid. The guys you mentioned, Deron, Korver, Wade, Rondo etc., were all old vets on small deals. You can take risks on guys like that. Westbrook is the complete opposite of that with his $40 million a year or whatever ungodly amount he makes. If anything I’d bet on AD pushing this. He’s the one who pushed Rondo and Drummond.
