SMH if they trade for Russ...

I swear to god if they trade all that for Westbrick

How are they trading Kuz and Harrell for both Buddy and Russ. Woj and Shams reporting conflicting info.

I like Westbrook if the Lakers have Buddy, but without that shooter, that lineup would be awful. That Russ trade needs to be centered around Dennis and the pick.

So we keeping KCP or is he part of the deal? Because he and Hield would be a great shooting backcourt

Gross. Once again, showing how little the Lakers' FO values spacing. Westbrook, LeBron, and Davis together sounds claustrophobic, and you're giving away some of your only somewhat capable 3P shooters to make it happen.

Harrel/Kuzma/KCP/Mckinnie gets it done I think :banghead:

The Lakers probably leaked both trades on purpose to get leverage for which one they really want to do.

That would be one of the dumbest trades in NBA history, imagine having a serious lack of shooting and then trading away your best shooter for a bricklayer

There's just no way they can be this stupid

Pure example that '19 offseason was a luck, not Pelinka's skills.

Hield would be good, Westbrook would kill chances for LeBron's last dance. So I guess we'll get Westbrook.

I think it was Bill Simmons who said Pelinka GMs like his son playing 2K. 4 years in a row now he just goes for players random fans can name and washed up all-stars

I might just quit watching the Lakers if LeBron has to spend his last few years with freaking Chuckbrook. Pelinka is an absolute moron if he does this.

Lebron just loves washed up guys. That's his style

MisterHibachi · Post #917 » by **MisterHibachi** » Thu Jul 29, 2021 9:25 pm

Alright, if they're getting Russ, need them to go all in and re-sign Drummond. I need to know the lower bounds of how bad spacing can get. Play Caruso next to those 4 as well.

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

Greatness · Post #919 » by **Greatness** » Thu Jul 29, 2021 9:26 pm

Did the Kings quickly say no so now they pivoted? I just don't get how they go from nearing a deal to get a knock down shooter to within minutes trying ruin the little spacing they had left.

What a bummer
