Westbrook Fired His Agent

who he has hired since his time at UCLA. He's been with him his entire career as a basketball player. They are very close, like Thicke as thieves. They have parted ways. This happens all the time, right you fire agents,

you go somewhere else. That happens. But what doesn't happen, almost never happens, is when that goes on, a splitting of the ways goes on, and an agent decides to put out a statement right after describing and laying out your dirty laundry about how the reason that you guys have parted ways is because you lack all self awareness. That's basically what that statement was, folks, and it mostly

confirmed what we all know to be true. Russell Westbrook wants to leave yet another team one year after being at said team. This will be Russell Westbrook's fourth trade request in four years. Let me say that again. This

is Russell Westbrook's fourth trade request in four years. Could have had a statue in Oklahoma City, decided he wanted to go to Houston, decided then he wanted to go somewhere else, didn't matter where, then Washington, then back home to La Okay see Houston, DC, and now LA And if he goes to another team, he will be a

buyout candidate. If he goes to Indiana or San Antonio, which is looking like where that is targeted, he will need assets to go along with him, i e. First round draft picks to absorb that massive contract and then spit him out and let the free like let him be a free agent on the open market, and probably will take a minimum deal. Fad Fouchet knows all these things and set all these things out in the open

Here's what he said. Now, with the possibility of a fourth trade and four year, the marketplace is telling the Lakers that they must add additional value with Russell. In any trade scenario, you're a negative asset, and even then such a trade may require Russell to immediately move on

from the new team via buyout. My belief is that this type of transaction only serves to diminish Russell's value, and his best option is to stay with the Lakers, embrace the starting role and support that Darvinham publicly offered him. Russell Westbrook is a first ballot Natesmith basketball player, basketball Hall of Fame player and will prove that again before he is retired. FAD's like, listen, fam, you're driving down the price of yourself just by going to a new place.

That Fouchet basically tired of Russell Westbrook doing this time and time and time again. And of course this is highly unusual. You don't say that, I say that. That Fourget does not say that to WOJ. We can surmise what it means, but for someone to lay it out and say this is it, this is what it's happening, Russell Westbrook is taking a dive value wise kind of

wild especially considered that bad Bouchet. If you don't know, he's not a household name, even for the most rabbit of NBA fans, one of the more behind the scenes agents in the NBA. Do you know nobody knows him, Nobody knows what he looks like. I had to google him. You know who? You know who someone like Rich Paul is. You know who Bill Duffy most likely is. You know

how who's Kevin Durant's agent, Rich Climban is. Because they're front and center, and of course everyone says they've come out and say, well, you're supposed to be an advocate of your client, no matter what, You're supposed to have his back. You're not supposed to air as dirty laundry. He fired him. You're no longer, You're no longer in a business relationship, and you also have new clients that may be looking like, why did Russ fire this agent

fifteen years in his career. Well, because the man's bringing his own price down. I can't can't see him do himself like this. He's not under no obligation to keep quiet. But what's getting lost in the Russ drama, and this is actually the main point, is that our man Rob Polinka still has no idea what he's doing. None. They made some on the surface bubbling, some nice moves, Lonnie Walker, Scottie Pippen Junior, et cetera, et cetera. But there are

still the Troy Brown, there are still Tomas Bryant. There are still zero shooters, none, no shooters. Lebron James is the best three point shooter on this team right now. Scottie Pippen, Sharif O'Neil, Austin Reeves, fun kids, real fun guys, young pieces. None of them are going to help this team with spacing or scoring from the perimeter. None. Zero. The number one thing we know. We've said this million times.

I say it until I'm blue in a face. There's only one formula to surround Lebron to win a championship or even to compete. Surround him with shooters. He has the ball in his hand. He is the primary ball handler on a team. That's what he does. He also likes to drive and kick. He commands a lot of attention. All you need to do is just stand there and wait for him to get you the ball, and you have to put it in the hoop with the regularity.

So let's look at some of these doesn't Why doesn't if a twelve year old player, a twelve year old kid on TikTok knows this, Why doesn't Rob Polinka know this? It's the number one thing in my comment section on TikTok seven eight nine year olds. Lebron has no help. He has no shooters. Get him some shooters, Rob Plinka, Alert, Alert, you're grown ass man and you're making millions of dollars. This is the number one thing you need to do. So let's look at the three point percentages of these

guys that he picked up. Let's look at the team. Troy b thirty three point seven percent from three, Lonnie Walker thirty four percent from three, that's like the most serviceable.

Thht twenty seven percent from three, Kendrick Nunn thirty six percent from three, Toscano Anderson, toscott O Anderson thirty six percent from three, Damian Jones thirty, Thomas Bryant thirty five, Stanley Johnson thirty, Austin Reeves thirty one, Skottie Pitpin Jr. Thirty four percent in college, Max Christy thirty eight percent in college. So you're telling me Max Christi is the future of the Lakers. Second round pick Dennis Shrewder is now hinting he wants to come back to the Lakers

thirty three percent from three. Tell me how this helps you? Please? What is happening if they don't get Kyrie Irving? There are so fucked, They are so incredibly fucked for so incredibly long. Why isn't Buddy heeled there? He's the per fixed statue to just stand in a corner. Listen, just go over there, stand there, don't move, We'll get you

the ball. He shoots almost forty from three. The latest news, per Chris Haynes, friend of show, I think is that the Big Three Anthony Davis, Russell, Westbrook, Lebron James got on a group chat, a group call and said they have a commitment to one another and a commitment to what What is that? What commitment do they have to failing to have a commitment to the play in tournament like a seven, eight nine seed. What if I was Lebron James, I'd be like, no, fuck no, get out

of here. I don't have a commitment to you. And what we do know about Lebron James is that he's a liar, so he probably and a very good one for very we'll call it philanthropic reasons. You don't want to make people sad for the sake of making him sad. Love you, Russ, Yes, Let's run it back. Trade him, trade him, get him the fuck out of here. I need Kyrie. If you don't give me Kyrie, I'm not running it back. I'm not signing again if you don't figure out how to get Kyrie. Fuck them picks, Fuck

them picks. The Lakers are still trash, and I don't know why no one's saying it. People are like, oh, yeah, Lonnie Walker, good good signing. Yeah, yeah, this is trouble. Who are they beating? Can they beat Phoenix?

unusual amount of clutch clients on this roster. Eight. There are eight folks, eight clutch clients on the Los Angeles Lakers, including all of their recent signings Lonnie Walker, Juan Toscano, Anderson, Troy Brown, Scottie Pippen Junior. What is this? What is happening? Are they using this to their playground? Is clutch sports? Like I don't care if you win? And don't you think Lebron James would suss this out? Like, Yo, you're signing a lot of clutch clients and we're not any

closer to winning. What is happening with Russ? Without Russ, I'm not sure this team can compete with anyone in the West besides maybe the Thunder and the Rockets. The

Lakers are a playing team at best. This team, outside of that one championship inside the bubble that they didn't even get to celebrate with their Fans has been a sinking ship ever since Clutch put their little fangs in and their little claws in this organization and would not let go The amount of picks that they gave up for ad, the amount of pieces they had to send off for Russell Westbrook, the rotating cast of characters and non shooters around him, the dusty AARP card carrying guys

like Carmelo Anthony and Trevor Ariza and Avery Bradley and Ken Basmore who's not old but he's just not very good. And the Lakers have no one to blame but themselves. Can someone cue that Game of Thrones where it's Circe and they shave her head and she's walking through naked, like someone needs to do that to Jeanie Buss and to Rob Polinka. Shame, shame, shame. This is the fucking Lakers we're talking about. This is not okay. See can they get their shit together? I don't know what's going on.

I don't know what's going on. All I have to say they're gonna be bad and no better
