    I said it when they got him and I'll say it again. The Lakers' only chance of winning the championship this season is if Westbrook gets hurt.

    He's like one of the most healthy players out there as well. He's got one season where he played less than 65 games and three where he played all 82. One where he played 81 and two more where he played 80.
    One thing is for certain with Russ. Dude comes to play every night.

    Mostly because the age of Westbrook and how I don't think he'd be a good mix with Embiid.

    Not that I think CJ would be a good mix, nor do I think the 76ers would want CJ.

    I'd say about 15 unprotected firsts should do it.

    It's crazy that a year ago today the Lakers won the title.

    You know you are in trouble when one of your youngest players gets hurt!

    The Pandemic was a perfect storm for the Lakers. Davis didn't have to play the whole season, got rest during the shutdown, and came back strong in the bubble.

    I'm sorry, what happened to his full name among Lakers fans and media, "one of the most promising young players in the league Talen Horton-Tucker?"

    Ya man, that’s what happens when you are a creator. I think some of the best ever have TONS of turnovers though right? Kidd,Stockton,AI…..

    Does he get paid to take the Covid Test?
    Another question. Is he vaccinated?

    Dame had 7 games just LAST (shortened) season with 0 turnovers. I'm sure Kidd, Stockton, and AI had many games with 0 turnovers too.

    He does have his moments for sure. Head scratching a lot of the time.
