Do it in real games against actual competition and then we can talk.
It’s much easier to role play in practice.

Tbh they shouldn’t trade him at this point lol. It’s already too late with preseason about to start. Just seems cold as shit to trade him now.
suhar97
Ah yes the classic reports of preseason shooting improvements. We’ll all believe when we see it

HA, watch all of this not position over to actual games that matter. Keep the hopium tank filled

Practice? We talking about practice?

I’m sure opposing defenses will be really scared of his refined shooting technique.

Do it in real games then I will be happy
zhard01
If he just turns it on and becomes a defensive pest I’m going to be happy but even more pissed at that bullshit I watched last year
lakernation21
Honestly there’s no reason why he shouldn’t be decent defensively lol. Only reason he’s done bad is because of his stat padding trying to get rebounds leaving ppl open

Get back to me in November.

> For the Pacers, every conversation with the Lakers led to an ultimate demand: Both of L.A.’s available first-round picks — or no deal.
This is likely nothing, Pacers and Lakers both aren’t budging.

Just in time to get traded to the Pacers and rot until a buyout lol

Ben Simmons looks like Steph Curry in practice vids this means nothing. Westbrook stans will be like “he’s changed, he can do all these things now lakers should keep him!” and then when he doesn’t do those things they’re like “y’all are asking him to be something he’s not it’s unfair!”
blueandgoldLA
do y’all prefer not getting any updates lol, cuz games aren’t being played. he can’t show you in-game.

Means NOTHING until we see it during the regular season.

Bro if Russ actually plays well this season people will still find ways to hate it is what it is 🤣🤣🤣
mrlandlord
No matter what, I hope he plays well. If we keep him, we have cap for next year and a chance to go deep in the playoffs. If we trade him, we get more for him. Win win either way.
relivesa
Yeah yeah. No team sucks during trading camp. We’ll see what he does when the games count
coolerthanice
I’m actually rooting for Russ to hopefully turn it around and succeed this season. I want anyone wearing the Lakers uniform to do well.

Pump up that trade value!

Would be the best redemption story of he turned things around and won back his hometown support. I’ll gladly be the first to eat my crow.

Cap on the 3 point shooting
