If westbrook stays in LA because they have no other choice as no one wants him, I can def see lebron forcing way out....if not summer by trade deadline......the interesting thing is what return do you get?

I would trade all 500 draft picks of ours olus anyone bottom half of the roster for a 2 year rental of LeBron plus Bronny

 

[pmatic]

He really came to LA to be a family man.

"I don't know Vogel's problem with me"
"I never felt like myself here"
"They never welcomed me here"



"It was never my dream to play for the Lakers"



"I was too relaxed at times to be completely honest"

 

[iheartboost]

Fam hates Lakers fans and I'm sure the feeling is mutual for them

This ***** a doofus.

Westbrook on joining the Lakers:

“Being from LA, you always wish that you could play for your home team,” Westbrook said. “That’s definitely something that always circled around in my mind. Maybe one day? But I always would come back and be like, ‘Ah, that probably won’t happen.’ I just had to wait and see. But now that we’re here, I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

Russell Westbrook not working out with the Lakers was extremely predictable

but Brodie, Bestbrook, Mamba Blood, etc.

 

[frshstunna]

Russ just trying burn all the bridges so it’s no option to come back …kill a season and on to the next victim like clockwork

[dman14]

russ could get a bigger deal if he opts out? lakers could try and convince him and renege on the offer

is Russ represented by Klutch?

 

[Blue Mamba]

Russ talking as if his Laker tenure is over though

 

[art vandelay]

Alright, the first two maybe, but that last tweet surely has to be a joke. He was given ample opportunity, can’t blame Frank because Russ struggled to fit in.

 

[lawdog1]

Russ talking as if he wants his Laker tenure to be over

Fixed

 

[iheartboost]

23-59.

Welp.

 

[MajinZuub]

Russ turning that money down would be insane

Dude's gonna opt in and keep throwing shade at the team until they move him

 

[Mark Antony]

Swear Russ gotta be somewhere on the spectrum or just shuts off a part of his brain sometimes like he went through Severance. Like it's the same region that hits open layups or gives thoughtful answers.

 

[youngwolf]

Russ better not let them bully him into opting out.

Can’t believe they would do this to Russ. Someone who’s a black father, husband, son, brother, and an overall pillar of his community. Imagine not being able to bring your kid to a home game because of the toxicity and the degradation of his own proud family name?

What kind of environment allows for that and who’s at the forefront of it all?
