  1. Bru what??? Rob Pelinka need to be fired ASAP.. D'Angelo Russell????🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

  2. Who's that guy on the right in the thumbnail? Does he play? Haven't seen em.

  3. I still don't know if this move will get the Lakers into the playoffs at this stage. Perhaps if they made the trade a month ago it would have made a difference. But the Lakers only have 27 games left and their record is 25-30, and it is going to take the new players sometime to integerate into the Lakers Offense. The Lakers will probably finish their last 27 games with a 14-13 record, which will give them an overall record of 39-43, and I don't think that is a good enough record to make it into the play in game.

  4. ive never heard smth that made less sense than what perk just said 😭

    they took away KAT’s best friend who was “balling out of control” to make KAT and Ant friends !???

  5. Malik Beasley is the best thing about this trade. The Lakers anyway had a dlo type player in Dennis.

  6. Pelinka finally made a good move..
    Good riddance Westbrick…Russell is such an upgrade…you must extend him

  7. D lo 7 3pt a game on 39%

    Russ 4 3pt a game on 30%

    Hope Russ seriously competes for a title on another team maybe put Russ with a great system with shooters like the warriors and it would do wonders. I have know clue if that’s possibility probably not

  8. It goes to show how good Pelinka is that he is using one of the Lakers’ first round picks to bring D’Angelo back to the team (he was GM when Russell was traded in 2017). Is he going to use the other pick to bring back Kuzma or Ingram next? I doubt LeBron will be impressed, and with the strength within the West they will likely struggle to even make the Play-In

  9. yes, this trade definately moves the needle 😀 lets see, if lebron can make the playoffs this season with 2 allstars

  10. What a trade!!! Defense with Vanderbuilt, Shooting with Beasley and a Westbrook upgrade in Russell. Wow. The jazz are in full rebuilt, will probably loosing a lot a games from now on to get high picks plus having a lot of money by Westbrooks ending contract next season. Lakers have a team now, but they need to win a lot of games to make the playoffs.

  11. She has problems. Woj job is to announce and explain the trade and she low key attempts to steal the headline

  12. no why Utah???? I hope they get rid of Westbrook real fast. He hates Utah and Jazz fans can't stand him either.

  13. BREAKING NEWS! RUSSELL WESTBROOK PICKED BY PHOENIX SUNS FROM BUYOUT MARKET AND WILL REUNITE WITH KEVIN DURANT.. OMG
