    What is he going to do, sit on the bench and bark at the coaches to play him lol. I guess that would bring some entertainment to this miserable season.

    Westbrook wouldn't even fly to Houston though. He'd stay in Los Angeles if/until a buyout is reached.

    even if he didn't... NBA bends over backwards for its stars... Westbrook is finding out the very hard way that he is not a star anymore.

    Check out the lowlights compilation that's the first comment on that tweet.... It'd almost be tragic if it weren't so funny.

    So, if Lebron thinks Wall is a better fit, a trade could happen. Profound.

    There were some reports that Washington would welcome him back. Made some new friends.

    Is there a universe where LA could fit both Wall and Gordon on their payroll? Calling cap experts! Cause Gordon and Wall would definitely make an impact. Not sure if it’s enough to get them a ring but it would probably move the needle a bit. Not sure Wall does enough by himself for LA to give up significant draft compensation.

    Wall is better than Westbrick...he would make LA a lot better.

    Watching this video is weird. It's almost like something is wrong with WB or he's doing it on purpose. I mean some of those shots are horrendous. Something just seems to be misfiring in his brain.

    We need a third team to be involved... Not a cap expert AT ALL.

    HOU: Westbrook, THT - 53.8 million roughly
    LAL: Wall, EG - that's 62.5 million roughly

    The other pieces would be any of Nunn, Stanley Johnson - combined that's like 6 million or so, picks, etc. Ideally we need a third team to take on a Theis, DJ Augustin and/or Nwaba.

    Yeah, I was saying the same thing after seeing a couple of his shots that miss by a mile earlier in the season. This video just makes it look like he's got a side bet or something. LOL.

    Might as well include a stake in the Lakers in the 2030's. This is absolutely ridiculous how Lebron is tanking the Lakers and I'm here for it.
