Wishful thinking.  There is no way all 3 play together for too many games.  Lebron will be constrained on minutes, AD can't stay on the court and Westbrook is getting older now too.  Max I can see all 3 playing together is ~20 games this year.  Hope I'm wrong because the league is always better when Lakers are relevent.  

An update regarding the Sarver incident.

So that's how they punish their majority owner.
NBA should learn from this. A ban and $10 million fine is not enough, and what's worst is they just punished him with just 1 year so next year he can do it again.
He should step down. That's the right thing like what Jahm said in his open letter.
Just imagine how awkward it will be when he goes back and does these things again in the shadows.

I go with Jahm here, if Sarver is only suspended his influence still exist unlike if he stepdown even he still has some influence

but the majority will be on the person who will replace him in power. NBA should force this one and not to allow any kind of this misconduct

around the league. It's been around social medias and national news it might take serious action and NBA might review the sanction that

they've given to Sun's team owner.

Vogel had to because their rotation was limited, and it doesn't look any better right now neither. They do not have too many talented players left, they preferred to have 3 stars and 3-4 other role players, over 2 stars and 5 great players to help them, they had such a good roster on the year they became champions, it was Lebron and AD that brought the trophy and maybe they would fail to do it again if they tried, but they decided to send so many playerz and instead got one more superstar who turns out he isn't even a superstar anymore.

That's going to be their real trouble and I do not think that it would really become an issue in the long run when Westbrooks contract is over.

I really think the issue is the same as well, so if Sterling got the punishment for doing something similar then Sarver should have the same punishment, and for something like this it could surely draw some attention so he would need to wait in hiding before everyone I think even the Players of the Suns is not safe from his Racism, and like I always say a racist deep in their hearts will always be racist even though he hides it outside, but to change this kind of attitude is through psychological healing,


Well, there are tons of reports that Racism is now common in the USA which is why they are showing to the public that there are laws for this matter and they are showing some to the public by having punishments to the culprit, so anymore act of racism they will think on second thought, in doing it, I think the NBA is showing that they are not in favor with these kinds of things or activities that they are willing to give punishments whether they see something like this, in their company, Which is your correct that the fine or penalty money should be donated in some NGO kind of foundation for abused people that is a victim of racism or on a cancer health organization, but I guess the government have already thought of that,


Well, I don't really like Russell Westbrook in the 1st place but seeing a stubborn player getting out of the NBA even though he doesn't want to ultimately saddens me, that is why I want him to realize that he is not needed anymore by the team, he needs to adapt to the system and let capable players do his job if he can do that and if he can stay on the Lakers this season the management might think of something to extend his contract, I really don't want Russ to be Russ anymore but to be the best player he could be, and adding a defensive kind of style on his play I think he can fit the bill to the Lakers and for Carmelo Anthony that really loves to play the sports salute for him, I never realize that a selfish player like him would think of switching his style of play,

That seems not a good analysis. There are 17 players on the Lakers roster last season of which may be around 10-12 were actively used.

Do you mean that it's only Westbrook who didn't perform well because he can't follow the Lakers' system?

Other Lakers players are so lucky that even though some of them are much worst than Westbrook last season, they are being saved from criticism.

I agree that it shouldn't be the eye only to him but also to the others as well. But as the eye centers on Westbrook, it's because he's a star player and expectations to him are way up the highest than of those other players on the roster of the Lakers.
The coaching staff? I don't think that there's anything to do with it, well if there is then that's very minimal and little to be considered. Otherwise, they really have to rotate and make decisions wisely for this upcoming season in almost everything where they've fell apart.

It's haters. They are not looking for Westbrook as a star player when he was signed by the Los Angeles Lakers but rather they just simply don't like Westbrook. Before the Lakers, Westbrook already played for the Houston Rockets and Washington Wizards but if you noticed, there is not much criticism he received playing for those teams. When he goes to LA, Lebron haters think that it will be a boost for Lebron that's why they criticize Westbrook too every time he has the worst performance.

Not just that, the Lakers do really have many haters even during Kobe was still there. Now that Lebron is also there, which also has lots of haters, and Westbrook is also there, which is known for stat-padding, those haters are just waiting for any Lakers' mistakes then they will use it as trash talk.

I don’t think they would have picked up Dennis and Pat if they were keeping Russ. This news along with Westbrook putting his house up for sale makes me think that a deal is already in place and now they’re just working out the details. Since Westbrook is already privy to this information I would assume it involves some sort of buyout or sign and trade. I think we’ll find out in the next 2 weeks what the real story is.

That would have make some sense but it's best to wait until the trade or announcement is really there. Don't know what will be the drama again that will came up with this trade for Russ, I think I'm seeing multiple team trade deal here again, maybe Pacers or Jazz are willing once again. We may never know, almost everyday there are surprises.
