Agreed on all counts.
Bron and AD help that team win much more than they contribute directly to losing though. That would be my only critique.
Gonna have to start a new stat category for Russ soon... LAR losses above replacement.

Based on social media the way Bron is all over I thought the Lakers won. I see that is not the case.

I think he does it Sat night at Golden State. It’s day before Superbowl.
Depending when it is, trying to make a quick 1-2 day trip and pull up to the game.
Would love for it to by in Indy or Nola but def looking like LA or Bay Area

Props to the lake show for battling back to where they are in spite of (x) after 15 games, I thought that team was doa.
To be as close as they are to turning it around at this point is pretty admirable.

He probably rounds out the Top 3 in terms of his fall from grace along with Andre Drummond and Benjamin Simmons.

He def could, but i imagine he sits a few games with AD back.

Ehh can’t put him in the same category.
He’s 34. Supposed to be/been on a decline. Entire game predicated on athleticism and having the ball in his hand at all times and now he’s not in that kind of situation.

Hard to hold that contracts against Russ.
Tons of people already knew that was the worst contract in the league for years.

Sure, but when you could have 2-3 players that can actually help your team with that kind of money instead of one that does nothing to help the team, and shouldn’t even be on the court at the end of games, it’s always going to be brought up.

That is a valid point about Russ but to be a Top 75 and being passed around and playing for four franchises in four years is kind of embarrassing IMO. Athleticism definitely declined with age but not having the ball in his hands anymore is because he is not that anymore. The final aspect I would consider him getting the yips with his jumper. He has had a lot of baaaddd misses.

Not a Brick fan in the slightest, but he does give the team a dose of playmaking, athleticism and some defense. Are his contributions worth $47M is another discussion.

Lakers ain't winning a chip this year but with AD coming back they should at least make the play in and at best be the 6th seed since the west is so tight.

Russ is realistically worth 10mill a year.

If Bron can sustain this play and AD comes back healthy and plays at the level he was before his injury they have a chance against any team in the West in a 7 game series.
I do not personally believe in AD not getting hurt though.

Clearly Russ isn't worth 47 mil, but Lakers management let Bron and AD talk then into making the deal for him.
And there was no trade for him that made sense IMO.

I would sacrifice the rest of the Lakers immediate future for a playoff berth this year.

I don’t watch Laker games like you Lakers fans but he’s actually having a way better year than last year IMO.
He’s embraced that 6th man role (which I didn’t think he’d do).
He’s been okay to me.
