I agree. I think he would be good for us off the bench. |

If the Lakers are intent on not trading picks or taking in long-term contracts in a Westbrook trade, then a Westbrook trade isn't going to happen. Even at the trade deadline, teams will only trade for Westbrook to dump salary of long term contracts.
I think there's something going on with that stance, because I think the Lakers have to know that. |

Remember that one free agency when the Lakers signed three players. Jason kapono, Josh McRoberts and Troy Murphy. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

I had to go listen to it. There’s a lot of context in this conversation that’s not in this tweet but first and foremost it’s clearly a speculative conversation. |

Trade for Kyrie, then Bev, then sign Dennis. That'd be the funniest.
Really though.. if you trade Nunn as part of a Kyrie deal, or in another trade, Dennis at the min is kinda. no brainer if he's off the bench back in that 6th man role.
Otherwise, just wayyy too many guards. |

Bamba got a 2 year/$21 million deal from the Magic. We were never in the running for him. |

Plan A: Trade Westbrook for Kyrie and possibly Curry or Harris.
Plan B: Keep Westbrook and trade for Hield or Gordon and possibly Beverley. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

I agree with you….but are u concerned with the lack bigs…AD, Jones, Bryant and Gabriel? And let’s face it if AD goes down there’s barely anything there. |

Gabriel could be waived or be part of a trade. Maybe we could add Huff. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Even if McMenamin’s comments were speculative it’s obvious that LeBron wants to move on from Westbrook the signs are there and it dates back to summer league when they were sitting across each other. |

Any plan in which Westbrook is still on the roster come training camp is like Plan Z. His mere presence is detrimental to the squad building chemistry and good habits….and that’s before your factor in his horrendous fit on the court. |

That should only be plan Z if plan Y is to let him stay home until we trade him. _________________ Luxury Tax/FA Spreadsheet (Save to your Google Drive to edit) |

Does anyone remember if any picks and/or additional players were going from the Pistons to the Lakers in the Grant Hill for Kobe Bryant trade? |

As he should. Plenty of more deserving human beings for that sacred spot in the NBA. If you're a total POS scum bag abuser, good riddance. |

Why are we really trying for Irving? I dont get it.....Kyrie not going to make the NETS winners...and noone wants him....We give up picks? Why? Its really stupid. What again did this guy do in Clev? What about Boston or Nets? Why are we giving the farm for him? This is like the AD trade..its stupid. Ohhh and if LBJ wont to leave ...SHOW HIM THE DOOR! However when leaving take all that junki K;lutch clients with him and Maverick.
Better yet i rather take DS over both the West Brick and Drama Queen Irving and PAt Bev...geeez. I also would love to get Huff at center playing time than Damon Jones and i also would love to brink back Melo that the no shooting Klutch clients they brung in...sad. |

What a waste of talent and opportunity.
Maybe MJ wants our 20 ppg. hall of famer.
Funny how the Hornets released a statement (regarding Bridges) that they cannot make a statement. |

This thread is brutal from The Athletic NBA Show from Buha about Russ… |
He’s an idiot. Lakers have one of the highest payrolls in the league. They spent money. Unfortunately they were dumb and spent it on the wrong players. |
