[allergic2broke]

I feel bad for Russ.

he has a family.

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

At the very least Finals appearance. Did they even takeover new york?

Nope. Knicks still got cheered in Barclays Center. Wanted to be wrong about the signings in Bklyn but those dudes are who I thought they were smh

 

[datznasty]

Celtics could’ve done better than Muscala

For 2 2nds and jj who okc has already waived in 202 and will do the same this time? Not at all, underrated get of the deadline

What's done is done, trashing him on the way out isn't the move

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Interesting to see folks defending WB now.

The media was salivating for this

Noah shouldn't have to hear this stuff.

 

[king j]

We give the chaos agents too much power here. It's way too easy for them to come in and drop troll grenades.

Me and @VARNELL HILL been defending Rust from the jump.

 

[NickFolarin]

Interesting…

 

[lovehateself]

Noah shouldn't have to hear this stuff.

But he should have to see his old man turn the ball over 5 times a night ?

Nets with Bam/Kyrie/KD win the title.
Not sure why Utah does that trade though.

Interesting to see folks defending WB now.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that he wasn’t bad for the Lakers just from a basketball standpoint, but that was just one of their problems. And this bad locker-room guy stuff seems new or is being taken up a level now that he’s gone.

That's my issue.

Russ to the Lakers was a dumpster fire that everyone saw coming except for Pelinka, Lebby and AD apparently.

You finally got rid of him, no need for these shots and "quotables".

The people dropping them too just makes it worse.

Interesting to see folks defending WB now.

Westbrook criticism has pretty much always been about basketball. Going after his character, especially now that he's gone, is wack.

 

[noblekane]

i guess the bucks dont want to win a title this year

they must not believe in the jae crowder curse

they gonna learn this year

RE: Brick discussion

 

[Based Jesus]

They wanted Russ and now they're throwing **** at his back on the way out. It's bad optics. He's a Lakers great and deserves the respect that comes with it.

 

[elpablo21]

Interesting…

Ben reading up on the socialite scene of SLC

That tells you more about the Lakers organization than anything else.

 

[WASHED KING]

Y'all some chaos agents acting like y'all rocked with Russ like that. I'm bout to start pulling receipts right now if this behavior doesn't stop.

 

[CJMcfly26]

Can’t wait for Russell Westbrook revenge tour against Lakers. Mark my words, Russell Westbrook will get the last laugh.

 

[noblekane]

Oh now we're taking Russ's side?

NT got an elite pivot move.

its the nba thread what you expect?

russ been fighting with coaches, players, and fans since he been here.

not sure what you call that but it cant be good

 

[WASHED KING]

ALA is so sick in the head they liked watching Russ lose the Lakers games, and now they're sympathizing with him because they want him to stay on the Lakers to lose them more games.

he didnt get the last laugh on okc, houston, or washington. dont count on it with the lakers.

wheres that meme you guys use to post where russ is the grim reaper going into team's doors?
