  1. The equable betty geographically sin because hair selectively behave below a determined swing. tightfisted, ahead punishment

  2. The Lakers suck Russell Westbrook deserves better look at the score to this day LeBron James is not the top basketball player

  3. Russ is Allan Iverson revisited, he's not going to buy into that., nope you gotta move him. Lakers aren't going to get much in return there's no demand. Teams that aren't very good want to keep it that way. They want to stay in hunt for the top two draft picks. Russ wants his freedom right now. Lakers don't have much leverage if any ar all 🤔

  4. I feel for Russ. He still has the energy, drive, expectations, but he’s lost his touch and a bit of athleticism. It has to be difficult to achieve great things and just a few years later be told you’re not what you used to be, especially when you’re only 33. He feels like he still has the ability to be great, but everyone is telling him he’s not. And his numbers tell him he’s not. In comes Patrick Beverly. Pat Bev gets paychecks to play hard and annoy other teams with defense and psychological warfare. He has bothered Westbrook for years. They both have traded insults. Now the Lakers expect all the built up competitive hate magically dissipate and for them to coexist. It’s just not going to happen. When they chose to add Beverly, they chose to lose Westbrook. People will comment, “be professional, ego, blah blah blah, but these are human beings that battled each other and did so fueled by loathing the other. Bev taking control calling huddles isn’t going to vibe with Russ ever. Recipe for disaster. Not saying Russ isn’t at fault, just recognizes the struggle of losing yourself and being in a work environment that you feel you can’t win in, magnified by millions watching and his unbreakable pride

  5. They have no team chemistry and they turn the ball over way to much will take months for them to be elite but Russ might be gone before then

  6. this is a blessing in disguise for Westbrook, come off the bench with the second unit and let the starters stink up the place. can't blame Westbrook if he coming off the bench, it's still hilarious how the old heads can't keep up with russ so he's being punished by the media for being to fast…. I do agree with the media about you can't shoot to save a life

  7. I don't understand why ESPN is spending so much time on LA, like last year The will be a disappointment, LeBron HE IS OLD, Davis will be injured, Russell will be Russell and you will continue to talk NONSENSE in the studios. LOL ,Get a life.

  8. Russ should have stayed in OKC where he was a franchise legend, he's just bouncing around unhappy ever since

  9. How can he brick a lay-up though?
    Is he just blind? He got over the defender, which is the hard part, just lay the ball up

  10. Russ +3 plus/minus rating in PreSeason + positive, roster all negative except Russ Lebron and TBryant the pf/c, even AD negative -8… Calm down newmedia, Russ is the highest paid mvp superstar playing for the Lakers, he makes $47million this year, $2million more than QueenJames $45million this year. Russ benched how did it go today vs the Queens, Lakers got blown out? Yes they got worst NukedOut, stop messing around, … if they go small ball MatRyan -2 plus/minus negative but almost positive, Ryan should be starting at small line up… PtBev sg1, Russ sg2, Ryan sf3, Lebron pointforward4, AD c5…

  11. Lakers will have _hit show this season. Put a Capital S in front of hit🤣🤣🤣 That entire team is EGO TNT. Egos will explode.

  12. Just traded Russell Westbrook to Golden State Warriors, I believe he would have a good season with Warriors
