KP is wrong here. Russ was atrocious last year over the entire year. He doesn’t fit into the system and Beverley coming won’t fix his style or shooting. It’s just a bad piece to the puzzle

Did this idiot Perkins just say an old Beverly and Westbrook could be the best defensive backcourt in the NBA? Put down the crack pipe dufus

Yes now they do because they traded for a defensive player in pat bev lost offense. Him an pat bev cant be in the same line up. No offense. But before the trade they were just fine

Lakers get Donovan Mitchell and Buddy Hield.
Indiana gets Mike Conley.
Utah gets Westbrook, Nunn, and two first round picks.

These guys talk like they are super busy in a super important mission. Not sure what world they live in, they get paid to talk and improvise about basketball, nothing important and nothing new, they should be grateful and realistic about it.

If we keep him, what Perk said was what I was thinking. Secondary reason: What if that was a move to get Russ to care? His ego will force him to change if Pat outplays Russ

The lakers/Pacers trade is a no-brainer for the Lakers!
Westbrook is toxic and must be traded! Go Lakers ✌️💙✌️

Lol lakers are to lazy and can’t shoot plus depend on the referees too much and The Laker fans are happy to get Beverly but 30 days from now they will be talking about trading him just like the other teams have done already and like how y’all doin Westbrook and Anthony Davis When they play a hard team LeBron depends on referee the bail him out… Lakers are smart there get rid of LeBron James he fucks up every team he goes too Trade LeBron James
To the Nets for Kyrie Irving and KD they just need a new team to go to LeBron James’s is done he’s a fake injuries till it playoff time like he always do I would not pay him top dollar for his salary I will pay them the same amount Magic Johnson was making when he was with the Lakers🤷🏾♂️💯

I think the Lakers got Beverly by design. They are hoping Westbrook agrees to a buy-out so that they don’t have to pay him his entire salary for this upcoming year.

Lakers need to trade Russ, Lebron, AD, and now Beverly, then sell the team. They have no chance.
They blew it over the last several years, followed by the worst trade in Lakers history, then letting AC and Markieff Morris walk.
