Not saying Westbrook isn't the worst possible fit, but DeRozan would not be ideal with their lineup. DeRozan is good at what LeBron is good at. He would spend half his time standing around watching LeBron work.

So much hubris - DeRozan would not be having an All NBA season with the Lakers. It's not shocking Westbrook is having his most inefficient season ever playing with LeBrick, who is sucking the air out of the ball more than ever to win a scoring title.

It's also funny how this conversation is missing the obvious factor that DeRrozan probably wasn't going to give as big of a hometown discount as the Lakers were willing to give.

better midrange shooter and overall shooter
not the worst defender in the league

he may not be the ideal fit, but he is better.

I have tankathon simulated lottery draft on my phone in a tab and will click it a few times a day just to see us get the top pick time to time. It’s quite soothing when I’m stressing out for work

Russillo said on the latest BS podcast that there's already rumblings of a major writer writing a piece for Lebron to say that he wasn't really that into adding Westbrook like is being claimed.

Russillo said someone reached out to him to get his feel for that narrative, and he wasn't having it

Lebron is the living embodiment of that Eric Andre gif…forces management to make moves, when they don’t pan out and hamstrings the team from making more moves, he points the finger at them, and bolts.

And it's hilarious that Magic Johnson of all people shite on the idea that it wasn't Lebron's doing. It was like the same person called Magic and he's trying to get in front of that BS.

There is a limit to the kind of shite someone will believe.

Westbrook not being LeBron’s decision is fricking laughable considering the amount of sway he and RP have in that front office. They fricking held interviews with guys to see who they wanted to bring in and chose Westbrick.

I've never seen them in the BR area, only Jayson Tatum. I assume they realize the AD chips don't sell here.

There is a pic floating around from a rouse during Ida with only those arse chips left.

I was on Lakers reddit this evening and saw this from a Laker fan talking about who to root for in playoffs. Very interesting answer:


"Bucks and Chicago in the East.

Mavs, Nuggets, and Pelicans in the West.

I dunno how some of you can root for PHX after those mid 2000s battles + CP3."

**note: it had 18 up-votes and zero down-votes.

Another Laker take on playoffs. There wasn't a negative comment about the Pels:



"Bulls winning would be neat, just so many players I enjoy on their team (Caruso, Lonzo, Lavine, DeRozan).

Other than that, I wouldn't mind the Bucks repeating or the Mavs/Pels/Raptors winning."

Another said, "Davis is the plague."


Go Pels!!

Can’t figure out why the Toni flavor doesn’t sell well?
