    Wizards getting the #22 pick right before our pick for WB

    This is triggering me


    Rockets got a protected Wizards 1st that won't convey to get Wall, who is unmovable without assets attached to him

    I wish we could have gotten that over franchise guy John Wall who likes random trade tweets on twitter

    This puts Beal in Philly, Golden State or Portland.

    Also Pelinka is the worst GM in the league. Criminal that such a poorly run organization can win championships just because they’re in Los Angeles.

    Do the Lakers know that Russ broke all his fingers from dunking, and can't dribble the ball anymore?

    If the Wizards are able to unload Westbrook and get something positive back it's a GOAT trade for them.

    Only 2 years left on his deal, so it was easier to move than it was for us, but it's still impressive.

    I predict 3 team
    LAL - WSH - SAC
    LAL: Westbrook (WSH) + Buddy Hield (SAC)
    WSH: S&T Schroder + 2021 LAL FRP (#25)
    SAC: Kuzma (LAL) + Caldwell (LAL)+ Harrell (LAL) + LAL 2025 FRP

    nevermind: Wiz want to create "cap space".... :(

    thought we loved those late picks around here?

    Russ definitely surprised and improved his value this year here we are. We would've LOVEDto get that return rather than an untradeable Wll and a pick that might not cconvert

    Yea i thought their surround lebron with playmakees died out before, but this is a very curious fit. Hield makes easy sense. Westbrook, essenetially the ineffiicent version of lebron doesn't for this team. Hes back home in LA, but LA is all about the ring, WIll make for some excitement and drama and i'll tune in to see how it works

    A friend of mine has both Lebron and Davis on his fantasy team, i wonder if he's going to survive once he reads this

    Wait a minute if Westbrook can get a pick back why can’t we trade Wall?

    I really don't get how this would work out on the court...I mean unless Lebron wants to be off the ball more? Should be fun to watch.

    Best thing about your team sucking is it don't even matter, you can just sit back and hope for chaos instead of worrying about if this helps or hurts the Lakers.
