Incredibly, the Lakers lost again for the fifth loss in a row, and Westbrook was unable to help the Lakers to their first win of the season. The game was relatively even in the first two quarters, but the Lakers players still make too many inaccurate shots. The last quarter was the worst. So far, only the laker and Sacramento have failed to pick up a single win.

Honestly, if we will analyze what happened during the off-season when the Los Angeles Lakers are trying to trade Westbrook, there are teams that maybe disregard the value of Westbrook's contract and are even willing to pay him based on what is left on his Lakers contract as long as part of the deal will involve the future 1st round picks of the Lakers. That's how valuable first-round picks that's why they might gamble paying Russ with such an amount as long as these teams will get the rights of the Laker's future 1st round picks.

But as you said, it's good to keep the current roster as it is and I even pointed out that prior to the season. And besides, the Lakers seem not aggressive in trading Westbrook as we all know that if the Lakers really push on something, they are good at that.

The Lakers are now at a 0-5 start and the last time Lebron James experienced that 0-5 start of the season was way back in his rookie years in the Cavaliers, 2003-2004 NBA season. Instead of Westbrook, we might see LBJ showing signs of leaving the team lol.

At least they won a game, and thanks to Maxey because he save Harden from his poor performance. However, I don't think he can continue to have this kind of contribution, he still needs Harden and Embiid to play well, besides he is not really the main superstar of the team.

Chicago will surely win this game, they are at home and yet they are still a slight underdog.

Just what we expected, the Lakers have the lost the game versus the Timberwolves, now they're 0-5. What a start in LeBron James 20th year, it feels like when he's still in his rookie season because he also got the same record at the start of the season. I've expected that they can't make it because AD can't play as he is having some soreness.


The season have just started and it's still to early too say that the Jazz will make it to the playoffs. Don't take it wrong because I don't have any doubts on them but in most cases, there are some teams who are just too good right at the start of the new season.

It is a tough one. The 76ers are a good team and this Bulls team has a horrible record (last year) against good teams. The 76ers had a horrible start to the year though and the Bulls are at home… Also, the 76ers looked great in their last outing and got the win, so maybe they’re getting things figured out. Both teams played yesterday so the Bulls being at home while the 76ers are on a road trip may also be a factor. It could really go either way, but I tend to think the 76ers will keep their win streak going.

He will be traded if there's a good package from other teams who are also interested to get him to without risking the Lakers future draft picks, currently, Westbrook's salary is too high for other teams especially when his performance doesn't synch well with the price of his contract. It might happen this season but the chance is slim and other teams might wait Westbrook until he lands in the free agency.

The Cavs are definitely making some noise out in Cleveland.  Mitchell is doing his part and getting them wins, Love looks rejuvenated and ready to make a strong effort out there (I believe he's in a contract year and trying to score a new deal) and the other guys are all coming along.  I think they've got the chance to win against anyone every night due to their size and now with Mitchell, scoring capability.  I doubt anyone expected them to start off 4-1 though.  They're outperforming and for gamblers, that's great to see.    I'm not sure how long they'll be able to keep up this momentum though.  I believe they're just catching people off guard because it's a new look team with a lot of talent and size.  At some point the league will figure out how to beat them.

True, they were the slight underdog in their game against the Celtics and so I put a bet on them at +5.5 and it's good that they win and it's really impressive on what Mitchell is doing for the Cavs right now as if he got something to proved in this season when he got traded.

And yeah that is the question, too early to rate them this good, but it they can maintain this level in the first half of the season which is very hard to do as teams as going to step up after 10 games or so. So let's see how far the the Cavs can go this season.

It seems like Kyrie Irving has found a new source of drama for himself.  Critics have labeled him as a promoter of anti-semitic media after his latest comments in support of a film that has met the same label.  He's responded on twitter saying that he respects all religions and that he meant to disrespect, but I'm sure after Kanye the cancel culture vultures are circling.  Even the Nets owner Joe Tsai came out and condemned Kyrie's comments.  This is probably another example why the Nets didn't want to keep Kyrie on the team longer than they have to.  I've never seen a player go out of their way to damage their value like Kyrie before.  Always fun to watch what he's got going on.
