    Adding someone who likes to dominate the ball is OK in my mind for the Lakers. The more you take the ball out of LBJ's hands the better...for the opponents.

    Apparently the Lakers are trying the genius move of trading the same players to two different teams for two different players. That's thinking outside the box!

    Westbrook will kill his legacy going there.


    Make it happen. He hasn't played in a big market yet (Houston doesn't count).

    Yep and we should and the cap for me is CJ + DJJ + One of our two good youngins Nas or Ant + 2 FRP's. That's the ceiling and I'm definitely willing to do that. Would prefer to keep Nas I think as he's more versatile, but if we get Simmons Ant's shooting could be invaluable. I'd rather not trade either and I'm starting to come around on a CJ + RoCo package and keeping the young bucks for salary/position balancing purposes.

    Call me crazy but I think Hield would be more useful to the Lakers than Westbrook - and I like Westbrook.

    Westbrook gets traded every year nowadays. Dude essentially became a journeyman over night. His 30 for 30 should be good

    I’m wondering if Hield is going to the Wizards with a goal to move Beal to PG with maximum spacing.

    At this point I would trade CJ, RoCo and two future firsts... 2022 and 2024, I wouldn't want them to be past Dame's prime.

    Morey's getting greety. Trying Jedi Mind Tricks might work better.

    People thought harden and Kyrie and KD wasn’t gonna work because who plays Point, who runs the offense, who gets shots and so on. It worked. Russ and Lebron and AD are you Fucking kidding me. They’ll be fine if they are healthy

    WTF, that's 120,753,050 against the cap. Guess Padingus is going to surround LBJ & The Unidufus with G Leaguers who work for 15 dollars per hour.
