    Gonna be great watching Westbrook freezing out Lebron as he tries to single-handedly close out (and lose) games.

    I can’t believe the Lakers made this deal. I honestly believe this takes the Lakers out of title contention. Unless Westbrook gets hurt.

    Saying this for years
    I actually thought Hield was the smarter play. You want to surround LeBron and AD with shooters, don't you?

    No disputing Westbrook's a better player than Hield, but he seems like one of the least natural fits with LeBron ... and I think almost any player can fit with LeBron. But he's kind of superfluous with LeBron in some ways: Ball-dominant, athletic stat machine who doesn't shoot particularly well from outside. And now the Lakers have so many resources tied up in three players ... it's going to be interesting to see how they fit it all together.

    Just took a quick scan over LeBrons Ig. Dame hasn’t liked anything for a long ass time, but he certainly noticed this…

    The Lakers currently have 129 million tied to 4 players. So up against the luxury tax without even enough players to fill out a starting lineup.

    Hield is absolutely the better play. Keeping KCP is a better play. Westbrook will destroy the Lakers from within. I love it.
