Future Celtic

I'm a Lakers fan and didn't understand the move lol. People on Reddit are saying this is a superteam... but it doesn't. While yes on transition offense it will look like the LeBron Miami Heat - I have some questions playoff time and especially injuries. AD said he is willing to play 5 but he's going to get injured - AGAIN. And spacing/depth are non-existent unless some veterans are willing to be paid nothing to play with them. Anyways let's see hoiw things pan out

2021 Giannis Dunk in G5

I see LeBron and Westbrook fighting over point guard position . They don’t have any good role players or sharp shooters . I see no mike Miller , James Jones or no Kyle Kover . Yea I don’t see this working . They may have did it because they expect AD to be hurt and just want more fire power

3:23 oh that’s messed up😂

Yeah I know youre a WestBrook Hater LMAO.

I'm a lebron fan, so seing this trade just made me sad.

At least they got rid of Choking Kuzma #BrightSide

Nah!! LA already know everything you said, i think they will change their gameplay.

As a Lakers fan I'd prefer signing Buddy Hield BUT.... Our GMs Rob Pelinka and Lebron James chose the friend of the latter who will play as PG, LBJ will play as F and AD as C. In this way LBJ will have less time the ball in his hands which equals with less effort and more relax time. We will find cheap ring chasers snipers in FA as usual. Also, Westbrook can create for himself which is vital for this time.

it think the lakers should have got dame

Do what you gotta do Lakers

This video won't age well...Lakers in 6 against a healthy Brooklyn Nets 2022

Still the lakers has not done yet, for me it's not a mistake.

This will be the same scenario with Miami no one expect to see Wade to adjust his game and maximizing Bosh potential. The difference will be with other key role players, adjustment and coaching system.

Only thing i got convinced by this move of Lakers is Lebron getting rest.

50 piece. 50 years 50 chicken nuggets🏆🦌💪

He might win one now lmao

I don't really agree with you. First of all, Russell Westbrook is best option that Lakers could get from the trade package. I don't think Kings is willing to trade Buddy hield for Kuzma and Harrell or sign & trade of Dennis Schroder. Then, Lakers will need a great slasher for the next season to ease LBJ 's burden(he is 36y/o and going to play his 19th season) . IMO, as long as AD could stay healthy for the next season, Lakers is still the main contender for the championship. One last thing, Lakers won the championship in 2019 with their great defense, not the offence or 3 point shooting.

what if westbrook made him a 6th man in a lakers...

Westbrook will gonna prove you all wrong 😤😤

i think the saddest thing is all 3 players could be more successful on different rosters

This three cannot win. No bench.

Hahahahaa

I love Westbrook all out hustle game during the season. Playoff Westbrook is a different animal. Turnovers and bad shot selection is his downfall.

All Westbrook gotta do is play like wade.

Wade also shot 30 precent but they won 2 chips

What if RW runs the second unit of the Lakers so that LBJ can have his needed breather mid games...i think this is the only way their teaming up will work.

Bricks more bricks

Westbrook is my favorite player, but he is not the answer in the lakers roster jeez what ever happens then

We are all concerned about the same thing shooting. Looks pretty bad right.. Okay what if you put AD at 5 Bron at 4 maybe Rudy Gay at 3 another 3pt shooting guard at 2 and Westbrook at the 1... Also remember, in Houston D'antoni forced Westbrook to shoot as many 3's as he could, and 0 midrange. Thats why he looked exposed for a game. But remember he came back the next game and dropped 30.

Good thing ...Russ will post up more to dominate other weak guards...

3:44 😂😂😂

Why no one is talking about the fact that they are building a big 3 + maybe Drummand. Why no one is talking about the fact that Russell is chasing a ring too. BC there is nothing wrong. But why did they criticize Kd or Harden or kyrie? We said the same thing about nets big and it worked. So let's see

Ur #1 fan from manila

no way tha will have sucess& winnig the chip - if so i will finally admit goat james but no way westbrick great player to watch will be good in the off seaason .just aint hime

It is the same thing LeBron had did when he was in Cleaveland he put all the assets of the team into the trade block and then get an above average player and after the season signed with another team. Just saying. I hope this time will not.

i think they think about this already before making a trade

Let see

Stats don't tell the whole story. that is why despite having low FG%, Respect to Mr. Kobe Bryant for never giving up on a play.

Blame general manager lebron

The free agency didn't even start y'all. Several veteran shooters has been eyeing to sign with the Lakers lol. Also one thing, WB didn't play in the first round against OKC until game 5 and was coming off a quad injury and COVID-19 infection.

Now he is on the Lakers

Laker fans are picky they got rid of their backcourt shooters and defenders Danny Green and KCP. Now they got Wesley Matthews

Trading Westbrook for Hield

Another person who does not give westbrook the respect he needs. U suk

Lakers are gonna keep him until they find a way to trade him for dame I reckon

people making arguments about 2016 but i see it like this, lebron’s block is more iconic but kyries 3 was more clutch. i know the block was clutch too but the 3 made them go up and win the game

since this move is a big mistake, if the lakers win the title you wont discredit it by saying oh it's a superteam

Giannis 🤙

Just non-bron fans.

They should have gone for Hield and D.Rose and maybe get Korkmaz from 76ers instead of blowing everything on Westbrook.

This will not age well

What we won't see with this LeBron team is an awful offensive creation when LeBron James is off the court. Plus we need to see the lakers roster at the trade deadline before throwing them under the bus. Shooters will agree to join LeBron and Pelinka will make some things work.

One of the worst trades all time, they could get buddy the perfect fit but they took russ instead of him

In all honesty I would rather have Kyle Lowry or another guard that can shoot instead of Russ.

i will get back to this vid if the lakers blended together

I think AD Lebron plus Westbrook would just focus more on the paint by pump faking , I think their overall strat is to just push through with pure strength since these 3 guys are unstoppable at the paint, the other 2 would be back up shooters.

Anorher liberal politician attempt to push Lebron to a greater legacy.

The entire league is fake

Stefan with Westbrick shooting hahahaha

Bron is getting older, he needs to shoot more threes with davis and let WB drive and attack the rim.

100% agree you need good outside shooters and if you get rid of your best one you are screwed.

Nba 2k work again

Bet

Everyone gonna look stupid when it works 😂, disagree.

Make a part 2 of this

it will not be beneficial to westbrook, its lebrons team and he(russ) will have to sacrifice to fit in the team.

Your voice is too annoying to watch this entire video

Every Lakers fan thinks the same way. But apparently, AD, Westbrook and Lebron sat down and discussed how this would work out before the trade went down. Given Lebron and AD has high basketball IQ, we just have to believe it. I guess.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the confirmation of the trade. I think the Lakers made a bad decision. Westbrook is a great player, but he doesn't fit.

Lakers just took a big L .

Ok, so we are just going to disregard the fact that when lbj is not on the floor, the team's +/- reduces intesively? With Westbrook on the floor while james is resting, this is not going to happen, maintaining a healthy lead always... in addition to, Lakers are best GOING TO THE PAINT... NOT SPACING THE FLOOR... with westbrook this upgrade their roster... NOW... what they the lose? Kuzma (poor 3pt shooter, sucks most of the times), Montrelz (didnt help their causa in the playoff.. KCP (great asset.. inconsistent.. but great...) they can still get a KCP level 3pt shooter.. if that happens, they would have upgraded a lot their roster, while keeping caruso, tht and wesly mattwes.. huge mistake? Well this was not well analyzed at all... like if healthy... LAL would have beat the suns and most likely going to the finals and beat giannis.. imagine now that same team but healthy and with westbrook... I'm saving this video and once they proof you wrong, you make another one explaining why you were wrong. (Or SS this comment and make fun of me because I'm the one wrong) love your vids btw!

he was famous for being known as "wesbrooks dance partner"

It well work people were saying the same thing about the nets and james harden style of play was the reason he couldn't win with westbrook

Ben Simmons should have retired basketball guess it wasn't meant for a noob like him.

It is risky at any point and for every team to sign Turtle in, because of his emotional nature. But I think if Lebron could manage mood of AD in Bubble, he will be succeed this time also. Maybe Russ will be point guard, and James will focus on shooting, because he in not young anymore

Well Lebron played with Wade before and Wade is also not a great 3 point shooter so just give the Lakers some time and I'm pretty sure they'll figure things out
