Bottom tier pg sadly

Would probably be fine if we could do Russ and that 2027 1st for Kemba, Fournier and Burks

I would like to do 3-4 2nds instead of the 1st since Fournier has 3 years and Kemba is washed, but I would do it if needed

Nunn, Burks, Stanley, Lebron, AD
Monk, Fournier, Reaves, THT/Melo, Dwight
Kemba/Avery

Russ can't even turn it up in games without LeBron, he's the lone PG. I wonder what's wrong with him? Confidence wrecked?

WB showing up just when I was all the way out on him

Very good fourth quarter from him – not sure why he can’t do that another quarters. Ariza look very good out there as well. But a losing team has losing habits and he just knew that they weren’t going to be able to close this game.

it's minor but he should have double teamed Reggie on the gamewinner instead of taking himself out of the play with a reach in. Reggie should have had nowhere to go but a contested shot.

Literally dribbled himself into a corner then got bailed.

Is it safe to say Ad is back? This is huge for La going forward when Bron is back

With the exception of his jumpshot, he does seem to be pretty much what he should have expected. Nice to see.

Yeah he looks good. I'm keen to see what Lakers do before trade deadline before I proclaim anything from here.

Don't let him fool you

He will never change

This is a roller coaster from hell

Such an idiotic decision.. Took himself out of the play with that reach-in when he should have been between Reggie and the basket.

This team needs to build back to its original identity. All in on defense, transition offense and let LeBron drag them to league average half court offense. They spent two years trying to reduce their reliance on LeBron and only dragged themselves deeper into the muck.

AD was worried about Ibaka shooting a 3 instead of protecting the paint!? on the last play. wow
This loss brings Vogel close to getting fired.

Not minor. It cost them the game. If he takes a better angle on the double and doesn't gamble, they win the game. No moral victories at this point in the season. Russ can't be trusted to close games because he'll keep making stupid decisions like this.

Absolute home run for the Clippers. They pick up two serviceable wings for basically nothing.

Legit disgusting that we are doing nothing rn and this is happening

Remember when Portland fans said a 1st, Nunn/filler, and THT wouldn’t be enough for Powell?

Well they got a hell lot less for Powell AND RoCo

Just disgusting from Portland

Clips are disgustingly loaded if they were healthy, favorites imo

Reggie, PG, Kawhi, Morris, Zubac
Powell, Batum, Mann, RoCo, Hartenstein/Serge
Kennard

Balmer willing to pay $19M in tax for two guys who might not even be part of their closing lineups, and Jeanie refused to pay $17M for a guy who was essential to the team's defense and was depended on enough to start a Game 7 in the finals.

Cheap owners are the worst part of sports.

So when are we going to move Russ, DJ, and our 2027 1st for CJ and Bledsoe/LNJ and Winslow

Post #840 » by **zimpy27** » Fri Feb 4, 2022 9:05 pm

Covington was my pick as the best player to get for THT. He covered all Laker flaws. Would have given an FRP for him.

The fact that they couldn't get a third team in to help POR clear salary is a joke.
