Lakers Were Able To Unload Westbrook

**Mr KLC** · 02-08-23, 08:53 PM

Westbrook will probably get bought out by the Jazz, and sign with the Clippers. No way the Jazz keep Westbrook after his problems in Utah.

wow.westbrook had a 47 million dollar contract.nicely done lakers.

**lakerboy** · 02-08-23, 08:57 PM

Yes and they got back a guy they already had. God this franchise is such a joke.

Lol. You guys not winning this year either bro. Tatum is a loser.

**asiagambler** · 02-08-23, 09:37 PM

Ainge dropped the ball on this one. Could have gotten at least an unprotected pick over the summer when the Lakers were ultra desperate

This is a massive win for LA giving up only a protected pick

They're a joke but how can you hate this trade ?

You got a starting PG in Russell and two solid rotation pieces on top of that. AND you unloaded Westbrook all for just a protected 1st

They made a good move for sure on paper.

F.L.J & da leakers

**iwantcougars** · 02-08-23, 10:16 PM

how many 1st rd does utah have now, mitchell, conley and the center

**d2bets** · 02-08-23, 10:50 PM

Utah players quit on the game once they heard the news.

**Hugh Madbrough** · 02-08-23, 11:08 PM

Why do teams help out the Lakers why can't they be more like the Nets GM. Who said I'll trade Kyrie to anyone but the Lakers.

100%. I wouldn’t deal with any of these major market teams if I were a smaller market. Why help them out? They already have an embarrassment of riches and geography.

Minnesota is still the Lakers triple A affiliate.

Exactly what the players were thinking while they tanked the 2nd half.

But yeah, Utah always wanted to tank. The players messed it up a bit. So now they try harder to tank. Jazz just collecting picks.

**pologq** · 02-09-23, 09:02 AM

they went from being the surprise team this year to a shit show. them and the nets can shake hands and dance in a field.

nope why lakers sign or trade him in 1st place.

**pologq** · 02-09-23, 12:34 PM

lakers definitely did well considering westbrook's contract. james has some guys who can shoot now.

**Goat Milk** · 02-09-23, 12:40 PM

He should go to the Bucks

**JIBBBY** · 02-09-23, 12:53 PM

Lakers win big with this trade! Dumping that washed up bum and his huge contract is a very nice move.

Pretty sure the Lakers would have let Westbrook walk as a FA this summer if they didn't get a good deal for him.

**gauchojake** · 02-09-23, 03:48 PM

Darvin Hamm is running this team now. All the malcontents are gone.

And what about this season. They were willing to just punt it away ?

Can't imagine that would have sat well with James

I don't think the Lakers really give a shit what LeBron thinks.

LeBron forced the Lakers to get Westbrook in the first place.

I think there's a coin flip chance that he won't even be on the team in 12 months.

Fair enough. Pelinka did well to hold his ground and get this deal

See ya “coach killer”!

**hawkwind** · 02-09-23, 06:57 PM

Should of dumped FLJ but NOBODY wanted her

**budwiser** · 02-10-23, 08:47 AM

guy is 34 years old and washed. like wall, and athletic qbs in football, these guys got shorter shelf lives than, say, a chris paul who doesn't depend on outjumping

he's not as good as he once was but still better than 80% of the nba. if you think westbrook should retire, then every single player on the bench of every nba team should retire as well, because none of them except westbrook can drop 30 in a game.

yeah he can still start, but he's not a premier guard, i don't think anyone would say he's in the top 20% of the guards out there. the guy can't shoot the ball. that's why they call him westbrick. and he's not as athletic as he used to be.

when he was with dc and he could drive and dish to beal, they were a natural. he was at his best at okc. at lakers, the guy comes off the bench. the team even with lebron james and brow can't do anything.
