The Lakers are just awful. They are lucky the Trail Jobbers are without Hart, Bledsoe and Little or they´d be winning this easily.

Maybe the Kings should aim for the Lakers (with a brutal remaining schedule) rather than the Pelicans.

I can't wait for LeBron to ask to be traded this offseason.

This sequence...

-LeBron refuses to pass and turns an easy 2 points into a missed contested layup.
-DSJ stupidly attacks the rim without numbers with 15 seconds left on the shot clock with his team up five.
-LeBron cherry picks.
-Lakers don't foul but can't secure a rebound.

I blame Westbrook. Without him they´d never lose to the Blazers.

Lakers are so lucky that bubble happened. In a normal season, they never win the title and the whole LeBron/AD Lakers era is a total flop and we´d hear a lot more about how the Lakers should have just grown internally through Randle, Ball, Russell, Ingram, Kuzma, Hart, Zubac and so on. Haha what a team they pissed away.

I'm not saying Westbrook hasn't been bad, he has, but he's being scapegoated.  That entire team is bad.  

I love reading Twitter with Lakers fans thinking they can get anything of value for Westbrook or that they'll be able to trade for Dame soon.

I mean one reason they're bad is they traded several good players for Westbrook (and let others go for nothing).

Should have tried that in Dallas instead of forcing him to work with guys that he never wanted.

That definitely would have been better than the power struggles that ensued.

Question--do you think this offseason there is a chance for a Lillard for AD type of trade?   It would be a long shot, but just curious.   AD seems like the ideal partner next to Lebron but outside of their title run it really hasn't worked.   I am not sure AD can be your alpha as Lebron leaves that stage eventually.   It just seems like something a desperate LA team would try.    If you are Portland, getting AD would be a nice fit.  Still young and maybe going to a smaller market may be better for him.
