38 years old carrying a team on his back vs. $47m guy having fun. At this point, a trade for anyone involving him would rejuvenate this locker room and LeBron

Russ infuriates me. How is he still here? Why does he even get to suit up?
CameraMan1
Winning would also rejuvenate LeBron
LordBri14
One has rings…the other dosen’t. This should be the poster of mamba mentality after a loss.
sdhydro
this team wont win a ring if russ is still on the team, the nba has painted the narrative that he is not winning player, if he isnt traded the season is over
Eric___sal
Russell is looking to score first more than pass all of a sudden hopefully he goes back to pass first when we get everyone back
DrinkWaterTodaypls
Lebron gonna pick up smoking cigs at this rate
EvilGeniusGL
I agree that a trade would rejuvenate everyone, but it has to be a fair trade that makes sense.
Rob’s comments today about it having to be a “championship or bust” trade is an awful way to look at it. Just get quality guys and let LeBron and AD do the rest. We’ve already seen it work.
Under Lyin Rob’s way of thinking here they’re gonna be waiting for a perfect trade that most likely won’t ever be on the table.
I wish we had adults running this franchise.

Looking forward to the post tomorrow praising Russ after he plays well
everydayisstorytime
Didn’t Bron want him here? Did I understand that correctly or was that just rumors from other folks?
black-rhombus
You’re barking up the wrong tree. The team loves Russ. LeBron and Russ are good friends.
And what did PatBev say in his speech at halftime of the Blazers game to inspire their comeback?
>**”So regardless of what’s going on, HAVE FUN with this sh-t. Stay swaggy. That was my message, and we came out and responded.”**
Russ’s message about fun is also the team’s message and the team is inspired by it, so all of you criticizing Russ for talking about having fun – you’re not in sync with the Lakers. They don’t agree with you about Russ.
thegusano91
Trade wessbrick Pelinka do it!
Aja2428
The teams isn’t that bad. We are almost a playoff team. Lebron missed a chunk of games. And AD been out a minute. Fully healthy this team can make the playoffs without a doubt. We beat the fully healthy grizzly without AD.
We beat the a healthy heat without bron and AD. Y’all trip way too bad. Health again has been e issue, and our slow ass start to season.

Russ srsly has one of the most unlikable personalities as a player (he’s much more likable off the court tho).
Miserable-Mention943
He wasn’t smiling throughout the interview, he was mostly stone faced, he only smiling after a reporter congratulated him on a milestone on his career. Why you pushing this anti-Russ agenda with this crap comparison. Just throw up his stats and “have fun” quote
Cause-Guilty
Look I get it was a really disappointing game today but y’all always switch up, I’d like to see a trade for Russ & I wouldn’t mind if he stayed for the rest of the season but this happens every time Russ doesn’t do amazing & when he does good it’s “don’t trade him, he’s what this team needs” make your minds up & stay consistent
MillaRedd
Russ is no longer the problem. The coach and the management is the problem as long as he is here. He isn’t changing and they cannot control his actions on the court.
Kobebeef9
Westbrook is overcompensating because he is hurt inside and know the criticism is getting to him.
This is the same guy who complained about the term Westbrook.
KoryGrayson
If I made $47M, I’d be smiling, too.
DeartayDeez
Shit I be happy with losing too if I made 47 million this year
idontwantgum
I would have a big smile too after each game check.
hedokitali
I won’t mind trading Russ away for a couple of role players. This shit is not fun anymore.
Kingkongcrapper
Bring the trade face back. We’re not done.
manish2179
He’s a cancer. I’m a rockets fan that lives here in LA. I feel for you guys.
rocketloot
That’s why Russ isn’t a winner
Severe-Chocolate8157
Worst trade in lakers history
qotsabama
I’m a Mavs fan and I’ve given up on this roster amounting to anything. Don’t even really need the picks back, maybe a protected pick at most. Would you guys accept some trade like a THJ, Bertans/Bullock, and Powell (expiring for salary filler) for Westbrook. You guys get shooters and spacing and we just get to reshuffle because it’s not working. We’d probably waive Westbrook and he’d never play for Mavs.
JacobGouchi
Lebron gonna look like those before and after presidency pictures lol
jakl8811
I’m not a laker fan, but when I heard of Russ trade- I feel like I was the only one not thinking it was a good trade. He just doesn’t fit well into roster IMO.
Lakers need some shooters in corner, so they can leverage the bodies that get thrown at Lebron
EpicMusic13
Lmao goddamn im so done
evanvivevanviveiros
Yeah this is one of those 2k trades where I take whatever the CPU offers
EllisDSanchez
Blazers fan, coming in peace.
Personally, I’d love to see Lebron/Dame play together but I don’t think Dame is leaving.
Would you guys even entertain a package with some combo of Simons, Sharpe or Grant?
Drwolf72
If there are any positives is that this is probably the last season that westbrick will ever play in the NBA at least. Im sure once he plays in china every day next season he’ll realize that he should have improved his craft.

Bron will start showing his age if this continues

You know how people smile when they’re under huge amounts of stress?

Man all you delusional lakers fans have no clue wtf you’re talking about, seeing all these entitled ass comments just makes me feel bad for us as a fan base. Fuck a down vote 😂 yall are lame stop finding any an every excuse to blame russ for our loses WE WERE JUST TOO SMALL we couldn’t rebound like them an our lack of length also showed on the perimeter because we don’t have guys like Reeves & Lonnie out there at least using their wingspan along with their speed to close out on shooters. We lost because we were the worse team that’s it, no one specific is to blame oh yeah an don’t forget our best defender & the guy who was playing like the mvp before he got hurt? Anthony Davis? Wasn’t playing but he is tonight an instead of being pessimistic little babies let’s keep our chins held high an be excited for AD & Rui playing tonight while being a few days away from Reeves & Walker IVs injury reevaluations… Lakers will be at worst the 5th seed, who wants to bet on that? Get at me…
DeathIIAmerikkka
I would trade him for a ninth round draft pick in 2134.
LoFiChillin
Hey let’s trade lebron to the bulls
breakthrureality
Westbrook cares abt stats not championships
Radiowave284
Injuries notwithstanding, Pelinka did not build a good roster. This sh*t goes in cycles. In retro, letting Caruso go was a fail. Knowing what type of player Westbrook is, why bring him here?
NickSabbath666
Why do y’all take sports so seriously.
Just try to look like Westbrook as none of us can afford to go to NBA games while they make 1000000000x minimum wage for dribbling a ball lol
