        They can't lose to the Rockets. Not happening.

              That probably should happen, but with the kind of personnel decisions that the team has made this season, they will probably cut him instead when the Covid players are eligible to return.

              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.

No guarantee the Lakers can land anything of value, but there is too much in the market as of now to not be heavily involved in that.

                The thing with Westbrook is he has a player option. So even though he does have another year on his contract he’s probably not a lock to accept that knowing he can still sign another solid 3-4 year deal for longer term money unlike a guy like Wall who isn’t able to showcase he still has value. Also he’s more likely to take a buyout for those same reasons as well.

                An expiring contract halfway through this year and an expiring contract this off-season likely isn’t much of a difference for the team receiving him. If the expiring contract is the draw for them it’s still an expiring contract at the end of next season regardless.
                If you think he’d pass up $48 Mil just to take a “chance” on getting a longer term deal and hitting FA a year early…boy oh boy, lol.

                They stuck with him for the year, man. Lakers’ saving grace right now is they still have 4 months to try and turn things around and during that time, hope that there’s enough internal improvements and they’re not shuffling guys in/out of lineups like they have already.

                    DG out with covid, Rubio probably missing the rest of the year now too. We’re a team with 3 guards who now only have one. That sucks.

                        Bron is now basically tied with Steph for 2nd in the league in ppg. Averaging nearly 28/7/7. Highest ppg since 2010, most blocks since 2010 most steals since 2013.. Last 15 games 30/8/7 with 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks.

                        It gets overstated a ton, but that is just nuts for a 37 year old. Fun/cool to see, but also an issue that the Lakers are needing all that from him just to fight for .500 ball. Dudes spent most of his minutes as a center and point guard over the past couple weeks lol. Plays everything from primary ball handler, post up player, pick and roll player, iso scorer, off-ball cutter, and still switching basically 1-5 on defense though he's no longer a DPOTY level guy.. At year 19 37 years old he's still one of the most versatile players we've ever seen.

                            Crazy to see him still being able to do so much. Lakers haven’t needed that from him the last couple of years.

                              And he is also playing his highest minutes in 5 years at 37.1, not at recipe for success.

                                Yup, what I meant by “but also an issue that the Lakers are needing all that from him just to fight for .500 ball”.

                                That said I doubt he or his body feels a big difference between playing 34-35 minutes than it does playing 37 minutes. He’s had 12 games off so that could help some as well.
