The ONLY way I'd trade for Westbrook is if he makes it public that he wants to be a Laker. OKC would be forced to trade and Mitch would pull out...
I'd do it just to shut up the media. Added bonus: we'd probably make the playoffs.
Agreed. I was actually on board with your previous post as well. As for breaking up our young core, we need to develop them for at least another...
And he won't surpass Kobe with 6 rings either. Kobe = player of the decade.
Yeah, Westbrook is obviously intriguing but our young core is invaluable. The risk of trading now is enormous for us because we don't have another...
@fabfourlakers you had me until your take on Westbrook. What makes anyone think he's even remotely interested in a 5-year deal? In case you...
He wouldn't consider us either way. That's why it's repulsive to even think about throwing away two of our greatest assets to increase our chances...
I still don't understand why we'd trade Russell and Randle for a 3-month rental of Westbrook, banking that he'd value a 5-year deal over a team...
@therealdeal you're making no sense. Westbrook will be a UFA whether he's traded or not. Which Lakers team do you think will have a greater...
Wow. This is the biggest surprise since the Miami super team. Curry, Thompson and Durant.... Wow.
What a shame. I thought he could be Brandon Roy 2.0 when he came into the league.
If we can, we should definitely try to keep a max slot open for next year. I don't think Westbrook will be coming though. Superstars that are in...
I want to keep him as our 3rd string center. He also serves as a backup PF in case Randle/Nance gets injured.
I like Bizmack but Mozgov is the better player imho.
Eddie started and Kobe came off the bench as a rookie. No worries. Deng will be our Iggy in years 3 and 4.
You got to believe to achieve. There's no reason to expect any lower than the 8th seed. Where's the fun in that?
42 for the 8th seed. That should be our target.
No rim protection from Whiteside. Overrated. :Kobe Snickering:
Oh yeah definitely. I agree both Black and Huertas are 3rd string. If we sign both those players for 4 million, (and stretch Young) we'd have cap...
That sounds good. So let's say 4 million for both Huertas and Black. Should we try to sign Bass for $8-10 million 2 years, second year a player...
