How does a team trade for Russell Westbrook thinking he'll help them win? And double down by trading for Patrick Beverly?

Teams can be really stupid.

The Lakers or Wolves? Sure. The Model Franchise? Seems unlikely. It feels more like a drunk dare. "You won't trade former #2 overall pick James Wiseman for...I don't know...for...Lil Glove! Ha! You won't do it because you're scared!"

Somebody needs to ask Pelinka these questions.

Big win for the Hawks. Good job Quinn

Entertaining first half. Going to bed though as I hate these late NBA start times.

D'Angelo Russell's performance in this game has been utterly pathetic (1 for 9, 2 points). This is the guy the Lakers want to give a long term 20M+ a year contract to?

Mike Conley is balling out tonight. Love to see it. He’s always been one of the most underrated players in this generation of players. Always so consistent.

Non-LeBron Lakers are shooting 5 for 23 from 3PT (LeBron is 2 for 4), all on mostly open shots. His teammates are letting him down again, no surprise there.

Lakers have had a million chances to win this game. Pathetic effort by anyone not named James or Davis.

LA just asking to get buzzer beat by a 3 here.

They're really calling that a foul on LeBron for diving for a neutral loose ball at that time of the game? LMAO

Hell of a time to finally have someone else hit a 3!

And they've been letting them play basically all night. Weak call for sure.

No way!
