The situation is getting way overblown. Not that it wasn't a super dumb thing to do, but people will forget about it.

Kobe's a rapist
Fisher lied (twice)
Arenas will bust a cap
Kidd is a wife beater
Delonte West will date your mom
Spreewell will choke you out
Ewing frequents brothels
Kemp loves cocaine
Black lives don't matter to Donald Sterling
MJ gambles
Barkley is a fat drunk gambling ***
Malone likes young girls, and hates people with AIDS


Forgive.... dont forget.

They aren't trading him. Don't buy in to the apocalyptic rhetoric.

Pretty much this... Mitch doesn't strike me as a dumb GM... That Buss kid is an idiot though, so on the off chance they would move him I'd place a call.

It does kind of show where Russell is mentally and long run may be a good humbling experience for him.

I didn't see the video so I don't know exactly what happened or how Young was acting, but I find it interesting that Russell is a bigger badguy than the guy that is openly talking about cheating on his wife/girlfriend. If young is remorseful than that's one thing, but if he was bragging about it he's a slimeball and I'm glad he got caught.

Burke? Jesus christ, why would they do that? It's an absolutely awful trade.

Gobert would be more realistic.

Because they are the Lakers and are stoopid.

I'm telling you guys, in a new system Burke would be an astonishing offensive weapon. It's fair to judge him now since he has not met expectations but with a new club he will surprise you.

Lakers would sooner trade the entire rest of the team than Russell.

This is a time I wish Jazzfanz had Reddit's RemindMe! feature.

No. Trey Burke will never be more than a backup in the NBA. Anyone who still doubts that hasn't been paying attention. The only time the word astonishing should be used in regards to Trey should be when describing how badly he's getting beaten defensively.

The Lakers are usually the ones that pulls a fast one on other teams...they fleeced Memphis and got Pau Gasol virtually for nothing. Or when they traded an aging Gail Goodrich to the Jazz in exchange for a first round pick (later used to select Magic Johnson).

 

[MTS]

Burke and a pick might do it

It wouldn't even come remotely close.

 

[Magic Spray]

Jazz traded Kanter because he was a locker room cancer.

Seems suboptimal that they would intentionally bring in another.

Front office and coaching staff seem more interested in establishing a culture first.
