    I don't fit for the Lakers.

    It does make you wonder if the Wizards are ready to blow it up. That moves doesn't really propell them any higher. Definitely wonder if Beal did request that trade.

      So can we call the Lakers a super team now? LeBron makes guys better I hear so getting Russ shouldn't be a negative.

        Damn, this might be the season where me(Westbrook fan)cima and Oj(Lebron fans)actually join forces in some shape or form.

        Not sure what use Wizards would have for Harrell unless he gets moved somewhere else before the season. Kuzma and Rui gonna seem redundant.

          A Super team yes, but one that won't make the conference finals so it really doesn't matter.

          Do this today: Instead of $%*#!@& on a game you're not going to play or movie you're not going to watch, say something good about a piece of media you're excited about.

          Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

            I guess a late 1st for Shamet is good, but I imagine they’ll package that pick along with the others they have this year to move up.

            Who that player is, I’m not gonna pretend like I know.

              I guarantee the Lakers make the Finals this year if they get Russ. Might be ugly at first, but they'll gel by the All-Star break. They'll sign some cheap shooters and be fine.

                        I saw Bobby Marks tweet that the move opens up $25 in cap for 2022. It's hard to sell Beal on the future when he is due to be a FA. The Wizards aren't a FA destination, so they would have to make a big trade next offseason to try to sway him to resign. I don't see Beal, so might as well get what you can now. Plus, I don't like the fit, unless the goal was to strengthen the bench. Beal-Avdija-Rui is likely to start, so none of those players are going to start next year. The hope would be for Avdija and Hachimura to blossom next year so you can trade them for a star.

                          Lakers really should keep Dennis or S&T him now. If Dennis walks for nothing it’s basically Kuz, Trez, Dennis, KCP for Westbrook.. not a great trade for a team that needs some depth as is.

                          I don’t really think the Westbrook trade is a great fit for the Lakers.. but I can see how it helps in 2 ways.

                          1.) He can carry the team when Bron and AD sit. If there is one thing Westbrook has proven to be able to do it’s raise the floor of bad teams/lineups.

                          2.) A big reason the Lakers got a guy like Schroder last year was to push the pace a bit more. 2 years ago the Lakers were lethal on the break but weren’t able to utilize that much. In theory getting a guy like Dennis was supposed to enhance that. I read an article about this the other day but he basically did the opposite and wasn’t able to make reads quick enough in transition or just kept the ball himself. He was ranked as one of the worst transition players in the league last season. Westbrook is an upgrade for that role.

                            I could see them buying Rubio out at some point or trying to offload him for another 2nd or two.

                            If so, teams like Utah and Boston need to jump on that

                              We're really going to give them a 1st round pick in the deal too, when we should be demanding one back instead for helping them possibly keep Beal long term.
