Kings figured out an easy way to beat the Lakers.

Just force the old fucks to play 50+ minutes in OT and watch them need life support

No bueno.

Truly embarrassing. I smell a 2018 cavs like overhaul for the lakers at the deadline if they dont pick it up the next 2 months and pick it up, i mean play like 10 games over .500 basketball

I think there will be an assessment made around Christmas and it will be just be a question of whether any tweaks are minor, major or somewhere in between.

My Dude is a Lakers fan and he was watching Lakers Nation post game show after the game.

Those brain dead fucks actually suggested they might be able to get Christian Woods from the Rockets for broken ass Kendrick Nunn and THT.

He was so pissed at me because I laughed about that shit for 45 minutes... Lol

Jalen Green ,KPJ, THT.....40 million John Wall on the bencn?

Lmfao

Major?

Like AD for Dame?

Not sure what you'd do with Russ.

But, I'd do that deal.

Davis has zero passion.

Dame can't continue on like this much longer.

Unreal talent and a super nice human being.
Dude just gets it in hoops and in life.

I actually like their team.

All they need is time and a legit Center.

Hard to say. I could see them trying to move Westbrook before AD, but I doubt Portland would do a Dame for Westbrook deal. Even though a case can be made that it might benefit them in the long run.

Maybe they could get Hield and a couple of others for Westbrook (don't know about contracts) if the Kings think they can get to the playoffs and/or want to sell tickets?

I don't know about AD having no passion, I think some of it is that he's a little unsure about how much of a leader he's supposed to be right now. He says the right things re: wanting to lead and has called the team out, himself included, for poor play.

But how does he take over as leader with Lebron on the team?

The problem with moving AD or Westbrook is that Lebron wanted both of them and from what I understand, AD and Westbrook have a good relationship and AD likes playing with him.

That's why I say there will be an assessment made around Christmas.

Also, this team has 12 players on the roster that weren't there last year, hasn't even been close to having all of their pieces together and haven't had a chance to gel. Ariza and Nunn haven't played a minute yet this season.

They seem to be getting healthier, if that trend continues, we should know by then how good they can be and also where everyone, especially Lebron's, patience level is.

Hence Lavar recommending they bring up LiAngelo.

I think it's safe to say the Dame for Westbrook trade isn't on the table

Agree and said as much.

I don't see a CURRENT situation where you could move Westbrook.

The Rockets wouldn't want him back for Wall.

There is zero chance he sits by quietly while dnp-cd the entire Season.

Maybe Love?

They did lose Sexton.

Still, not sure they want to introduce a Alpha Male like Russ on such a young roster.

Plus, they have Rubio..... Who, coincidentally, is the kinda guy the Lakers needed, over Westbrook. Hield and Rubio would have done the trick. But, Ricky wasn't available.

As for Portland, Russ and CJ would be a disaster.

Not because of their styles.

But, because of their roster composition.

Nurkic looks like he wants to be anywhere but Portland and Covington doesn't give them enough scoring.

It would be the wild ass Westbrook hero ball show.
