    LOL…..Saying you wouldn’t trade for one of the Mt. Rushmore players in the NBA simply because you don’t like his attitude right now.

    Well, at least Laker fans can hope to get a nice draft pick.

    What's that, the Lakers don't own their pick until 2026? Hahahahaha

    If you’re saying this in reference to Westbrook, the only resemblance he has to NBA Mt. Rushmore players is that he’s a stiff.

    Wow. Correct my math if I’m wrong but if Lakers lose on Tuesday and Spurs win, the Lakers are officially out of the play-in. Unbelievable. An all time collapse from winning the title 18 months ago. I knew Westbrook would ruin them but I didn’t think it would be this bad. Meanwhile, fans are saying if LeBron and AD were healthy all season, they’d be 4 seed. Um no lol.

    Oh and Nets are 10 seed. I thought Nets and Lakers were supposed to be favorites.

    Yes this is correct, any combo of 2 Spurs wins or Lakers losses and the Lakers are done. There are 8 possible games left of these two teams, so the Lakers would need 7 of those 8 games to go their way. Meanwhile, they are in the middle of a 6 game losing streak.

    Very possible the Lakers are eliminated Tuesday, or if not likely by Thursday.

    Wow. What a jerk. Even Kobe fought for his team to the end. I know LeBron is hurt but you gotta support your teammates in bad times.

    Except when you're publicly yelling about how crappy they and management are and need to be traded, like Kobe did in 07.

    He was fighting for the team to get better and not nonchalantly walking out the door.

    You specifically said, "you gotta support your teammates in bad times." My point was that Kobe didn't.

    Speaking of crapping on the Lakers, Hollinger took a gigantic dump on the piss and purple in the athletic today. After pointing out in fine detail just how dreadful they have been this season, he says this about their chances of getting better in the off-season:

    He says Westbrook’s toxic contract can only be traded for John Wall’s equally awful one, or maybe to OKC if Presti is willing in exchange for some future draft picks.

    He says they could possibly target Cronin’s favorite, Jerami Grant, for Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn and “lightly protected” first round picks in 2027 and 2029.

    In other words, the Lakers are screwed unless they want to admit defeat and blow it up.

    This article made my day. Misery loves company.

    LeBron would be doing the Lakers a big favor if he requested a trade.

    And yes, I would want him to come play with Dame.
