  1. I’ll do the bogey for nunn, bev and maybe one pick or demar and vuc for Russ and two picks

  2. THIS IS SIMPLE…. If they can get the TURNER N HIELD Trade going then LETS GO… if its for a role players and salary dumping they can wait till next year the chemistry is dialed in and dont want to jeopardize this.

  3. Westbrook making 47.1 million to be a role player coming off the bench. Very expensive 6th man! He’s improving from last season but his salary is to high for the production he’s putting out. If he was making about 10-12 million as a 6th man yeah keep him. But the Lakers need that cap space to get players that can help them get to the next level. They should package Westbrook, Nunn, Beverly and Jones to get better players to contend. Westbrook would be a good fit on a team that’s in a rebuild. Lakers haven’t really played any top 5 teams and won. They haven’t been battle tested. And if Lebron or AD have to be out they need other players who can step up big. A trade is necessary.

  4. I’m definitely gone try to trade Pat and Nunn first but if you have to then yeah trade Russ. I’m just not doing it for marginal improvement and that’s all I see right now.

  5. Not lately. The reason he’s still there is because of his mediocre play and no other team wants him. They need him to be on a elite level to be able to be a worthy asset to trade for. For all the salary and money he’s getting paid.

  6. Lakers should keep this team together , I think their chemistry is getting better and better. I think they can make the playoffs

  7. Trade him for what, besides Lonnie and AD, he's been one of the best and Darvin got him to buy in and play DEFENSE!!! If the Lakers can fully turn it around which I believe they will Darvin deserves some COTY votes

  8. Trade him for someone like Fred VanFleet or Bam Adebayo. I would trade him while his trade value is still high. Another possible trade could still be the Lakers send Russ and a 2nd rounder to the Pacers for Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, Oshae Brissett and 3 1st round picks.

  9. Those wins are fools gold. They’re definitely playing better but they still need a trade or two

  10. Trade him. He’s just shooting the 3 a little better but across the board it’s a down year and lakers record is worse in the first 20 this year than last I believe.

  11. Can they get Westbrook back next year on a team friendly contract playing the 6th man role?

    Can they trade Pat Bev and Nunn for a wing 3&D player who is 6”7 or above?

    If the answer is yes to both questions keep him..

  12. “They beat the nets, Kyrie wasn’t playing” as if they ain’t have KD one of the greatest scorers ever. LeBron ain’t play either

  13. Trade him. He is playing his own basketball. When ball in his hand, other players don't know what to do,
    and he likes to play hero ball which he is incapable of.

  14. RW has been playing better and his confidence is higher and his energy is up. However, RW shooting 40% overall and 31% from deep with the same amount of TOs as last year with less minutes. That says a lot.

  15. If Lakers cannot get any of these players like Kyrie, de Rozan or Harden, or maybe Clarkson then they should just maintain the same personnel. They are really fun to watch. Go Lakers!

  16. Nope. It looks like lakers has a deep bench now. the only problem i see is they lack centers so they should trade their weakest link: beverly, nunn, christie. they don't need a shooter, just a good defender. good shooting can be gained from good ball movement.
