Framework of Kuzma, THT and Schroeder for Westbrook being discussed

[whatisacenter]

[WestbrookGOATed]

NO!!!!!! No. I want to be able to continue to root for Russ and I won't be able to if he's a Laker. Lakers fans don't even deserve him. Acting like they don't want him. He's would be the best point guard your team has had this century.

[Doranku]

Honestly... if this is what it takes to get Schroder and Kuzma off the team, I'm on board.

[Bornstellar]

This would be hilarious, I hope it happens. Lakers would probably get by on talent alone but I can't wait to see Westbrook pass up AD/LeBron with the game on the line to take a contested 3 pointer

[Young gun 6]

I still don't see the Lakers giving up all 3 of Kuzma, Schroder and THT for anyone outside of Dame or Steph (which also isn't happening). A S&T for Schroder + Kuzma + this year's FRP is the best package anyone is getting. I believe Caruso & THT are also borderline-untouchable not because they're so great but because Lakers need them badly for depth & fit purposes.

Wait what? Since when do these 3 have any value.

Schroder is about to be overpaid and a horrible contract for what he’s asking for. Kuzma is one of the most meh players in the league and you’d really have to be squinting to see THT as much of a prospect.

One of those scenarios where 3 meh items doesn’t suddenly mean you get something good back purely based on volume.

Except, they are. GeT a GriP dUdE.

AD's RS career high in 3 point percentage is 34% on 2 attempts. His second highest was last season 33% on 3.5 attempts. Last year in the playoffs, he was 38% but only on 2.9 attempts in 36.6 mpg. So no, AD is not a proficient three point shooter. Bron is not the greatest three point shooter but he definitely needs to be respected out there. AD not so much unless he is wide open.. if you put a hand up he's not going to shoot it from distance. With that said, AD is still a very good mid range shooter and he spreads the floor that way.

I showed numbers spanning multiple seasons and larger sample sizes and you are pointing to ONE play to prove your point that someone is a good three point shooter? Okay...? I put out a valid discussion point without insulting you or being condescending. And you literally gave nothing of substance as a rebuttal while being Childish and douchey at the same time.

I guess dwayne wade was a good three point shooter then.

Westbrook is not a top player any more but he will at least stay on the floor. I think it makes sense for Lakers, having Westbrook to handle more ball so that Lebron can take a break and AD will have an easy time too. They just need to get vet shooters.

[MelosSoreWrist]

AD and LBJ better work on their 3 pt shot and boxing out, Westbrook about to unleash his MVPbrook.

Why does Rob Pelinka think he’s building a team for 1981 and not 2021? Dude has refused to sign shooters for three years now when everyone knows how great LeBron is with spacing.

Seriously, all he needs to be signing is shooters, but it might be too late. THey got cute last summer and let Dwight get away and gave KCP and Kuz money, they should've been in the white van immediately after the bubble, and they should've drugged dwight and shipped him back to LA. They really need an offensive PG

[HurricaneKid]

Shroeder would want to go to Washington why?

Exactly.

Rule #1:
Is a trade legal? If not GTFO. This trade is only legal is Schroeder a) wants to sign with Wash and b) elects to complete a SnT.

As is, it's clickbait BS.

If he's the best player we can get for those 3 I say we do it.

I didn't know Dwight was a shooter. Can you make up your mind? Do the lakers need players like dwight or do they need shooters? Dwight isn't a shooter so it's either or. On one hand you're saying they can live with bad spacing (which is what they get with Dwight on the floor) on the other hand you're saying we need shooters which means don't sign players like Dwight...

With only so many teams under the cap, this might be the best way for Shroeder to get the most money for the most number of years. Everything from Denis this past season indicates he is after the most money as possible this signing period.

If they cough up enough money, he'll go anywhere. I'm kinda glad my team doesn't have cap space this offseason.

[KyRo23]

I don’t get why so many people are against this for LA. Everyone making fun of Kuzma and Schroder all year… THT unfairly made fun of because LA DIDNT trade him… and Russ was getting a lot of praise on these forums all season, especially towards the end.

Is it just because he would be in LA that people act like it’s a horrible trade?

I think it’s more of the fit with Lebron and AD. I honestly don’t see the fit either both guys are high usage players and neither can play off the ball. I think it works in the regular season, but come playoff time it might make the team easier to defend against.

They also need a big, they need a lot TBH

Man, just waiting for the bron era to come to an end. For the first time in my life I lost interest in my team. Westbrick would be the vomit on top of a cow dung patty.

This is why I'll always hate that LeBron went to the Lakers.

The 5 years before LeBron signed:
27-55
21-61
17-65
26-56
35-47

LeBron comes to town, he gets AD to join him, and they win a championship in year 2. Yet the Kobe stans will never accept him. Wish he would've went to literally any other team.

[tdotrep2]

so they ddidnt want to give up tucker for lowy but giving up kuzma and tht for westbrook after an important chance to win is closed... kk

[MostValQuitter]

This rumor is bull both THT and Schroeder are FA and would have to agree to contracts before being traded. Good luck with that.
