For the sickos who like to watch, Wednesday’s @LockedOnLakers pod, YouTube version. Westbrook likely out in DEN. What does it potentially mean tonight and moving forward? Plus, how Troy Brown Jr. can help. @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

The world is talking about Russell Westbrook, who is doubtful to play tomorrow in Denver. But after Tuesday’s practice, the Lakers talked about their holistic issues that they had to face when going over the film of their Sunday loss to the Blazers: ocregister.com/2022/10/25/lak… – 8:12 PM

In two years, Allen Iverson went from third in the NBA in scoring to out of the league. Russell Westbrook’s decline feels similar. But it’s not all on Russ, not even close: yhoo.it/3DzTF8F – 7:08 PM

There might be a stopgap move here or there, a small deal that might not wreck next year’s cap space or a trade of those valued firsts for marginal improvement. It’s not that Pelinka hasn’t searched for the big one now. According to rival executives, the Lakers have pitched two, three and four-team trade packages throughout the summer and fall, grasping at the panacea that brings in two or three difference-makers in one swoop. -via ESPN / October 26, 2022
