Obviously I will support Russ if this goes through.
On the bright side we probably getting some got vet min signings that Lakers already know about.
now that's the spirit. this is like the debate of drafting for needs or talent. i'd always draft for talent. Lakers can sign one dimensional 3 point shooters on the cheap now we have the big 3 in place.

Oh, so this is why LG crashed earlier. Went to NBA.com and didn’t see any news. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

We needed a talent upgrade. How are we not better with this?
We now need depth. I think I seen rumors that we are linked to Rudy Gay and Carmelo. I wouldn't really like the fact that we are getting older, but it is what it is. We need to fill in all the holes on our team and we have a lot now.

Number 18 sure wasn’t coming with kuzma, harrel and KCP as their 3rd best players
#18 was coming and would have arrived if AD and LeBron hadn't been injured. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Trading away Harrell and Kuzma is addition by subtraction. So really we’re just trading away KCP and a first rounder. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
If anything the Suns series taught us it was our biggest need. Now we add a player that nobody guards in the playoffs. We literally dominated the Rockets last year by not guarding him.
What the Suns series taught us is that health is #1. We were up 2-1 and leading game #4 when AD went down, so personnel decisions being based on what happened there makes no sense.
On the other hand, the Bucks beat that Suns team in the Finals despite shooting 32% from three the entire playoffs. As long as we stay healthy, play great D, and make efficient shots from anywhere on the court (FTs as well), we'll be fine next season.
have yall actually seen Westbrook play the last few years??? Westbrook fills up a stat sheet but he does not help a good team become a contender.... this will be a disaster! Not only does this cement our window shut, our team can implode where Lebron AND AD jump ship. And then Westbrook has the worst contract in the NBA so we cant just move off him.
