Lebron won a title with every big three he ever had no matter the fit they just need shooters and defensive players
I don't know how much Russ has improved his jumper, but he's got the talent and drive. Lebron gonna mentor him and teach him how to really play the game. The kinda person and player Lebron is he can play and win with anyone. GOAT James gonna unlock beastmode in Russ. And as I'm typing this Harrison just said the same thing so I know what I'm talking about lol. Hey chat sports need a new analyst and commentator, hola at ya boy! 😂
They could start by signing: JJ Riddick, Wayne Ellington, bring back Dwight Howard & Danny green & sign Paddy Mills for his veteran/championship experience. Maybe even consider Daniel Theis, Cousins or even McGee? There are many options out there. The Lakers just need to jump on them before other teams sign them. #golakers 💜💛🏆
Id rather have Dwight back instead of signing Blake Griffin
BH all the way. I’m interested in seeing how Russ works with Lebron & AD but I think Hield is a much better fit
No more stat-padding aka less triple doubles. Brodie needs to buy into the Lakers system or it ain’t gunna work. And the Lakers need to sign 3-point shooters even more now. And lacking a proper center.
Weak commentary. The Lakers never follow the expected pattern. Pay attention, bar-bull-shooters. This will be a sweet trade by the all star game.
Dude on the right shitting on Westbrook, he doesn’t know shit about basketball
BH
Washinton won this one, they didn't want Russ. 44 million? Lakers are doing more marketing than trying to win a chip.
Poor trade, LeBron is ball dominant and so is Russ. Chemistry bust.
People have the same energy when we in the finals I don’t want to see all these new LA fans in the playoffs
What is y’all taking about if Dennis opt in they can still get buddy from the kings
Beal said Russ was his best teammate ever lol. Y’all got to research more
Russ did make it out the 1st round after KD. Also how did Kobe do his first 3 years without shaq?
Lebron and mini Lebron in one team. Hmm interesting.
It's a good thing Westbrook isn't a sizzling hot shooter. Because he can relax at home now making him an improved shooter with every one on his nuts. Low bar. 😁
Ok wizards ! I hope Beal Stays
Dude is a Westbrook hater on the right. Guy on the left is open too brilliance.
We need a firey hustling player like Russ. Contrast too AD as soft. And he can keep playing with AD when LeBron is out or Retires. ⚡💥👊
