Rebuilding the Lakers Before the Russell Westbrook TRADE

[@look_at_kai]

As I Westbrook fan, at the time I was so excited and then the whole Lakers experience went horribly wrong😔

[@MarkShaw-ji7gq]

Cause Russ stunk😂

buddy that makes no sense

[@Sincityhippie]

Lebron would easily have 10+ rings by now if he wasn’t the one picking his teammates and trading away picks

[@JeremyKang8]

Hey SROS I significantly updated my 2019-2020 roster to fix some errors and reworked the draft classes. I have 2020 and 2021 to be very realistic now

What’s ur gamer tag for ML

[@user-qk4vl8lj4r]

People forget how dominant the lakers were the first half of the 2020-2021 season, before Lebron and ADs injuries they were the 1 seed by a mile

[@vimalmurthy3665]

0:13 in SIX games, actually

[@Theguitarguy772]

Those subtitles are so off 😂😂😂 How’s Russell spelt wrong every time and didn’t with the apostrophe after the d? 😂😂😂

[@R-MULA]

Not sure why ADs numbers always suck in ML? Well not suck, but not close to what they r in real life

[@harvsingh5169]

Why is Amen Thompson, & Derrick Lively in the nba at the time

[@Magic_Johnson_321]

Because he’s playing in the 24 season but saying it’s the 21 season

[@harvsingh5169]

@@Magic_Johnson_321 It needs to be realistic and not have rookie’s from 23 class

Can we get a rebuild before kd leaves okc please

[@ahmadbadran4174]

You mean Bron and Davis needed help so they called up Westbrook ? Because from what I remember they went to dinner with him before management did anything

[@CJYoung4]

Yooo! Super early. Wassup Matt, thanks for all the content lately, really helped me get back into the NBA after the bubble and the Rockets fell off 😅. W content man.

[@killjoy23]

U come up with the best rebuild scenarios Matt. Keep it up brother. Been a sub since 2k17 I think from diff accts.

[@nicholasfilipovich871]

People forget but LeBron was one of the favourites to win MVP before he got injured and even though he was back for the playoffs he was not 100% recovered. That season was probably one of the worst in Lakers history if you take into account what happened after it and the absolute waste of LeBron James finals years...

[@georgek5096]

Do 2019-2020 new orleans pels next. It would be a great rebuild while trying to develop some promising talents of the post AD trade

[@isaiahwirch9389]

Day seven of asking for a Westbrook , harden and Durant thunder rebuild

[@Jb2swoovy]

Bron putting up them 2015 stats when both his costars went down😂 I think he could have did it in 2021 too if he wasn’t so banged up.

[@ChiTownMade]

The lakers should have been traded to the heat instead. Or just stay on the wizards and focus on building a better team around him & beal. The Lakers should have traded for jeremi Grant or zach lavine.

[@KyleLowryRaptorsGOAT]

I dont think Jerami Grant or Zach LaVine would've made that big a difference to help them get over the hump

[@DenzielReacts]

where can I get this roster?

[@indioca4272]

You just gave up by putting hartenstein at the 4 😂

[@ChattGM]

After he just got saying "2K doesn't value spacing". LOOOL. He sure got a rude awakening quick

[@Kxrrvpt]

Can you try a bulls Jimmy butler rebuild too? Loved the video btw

[@onlyrealone_tae4792]

Marc Gasol was on that team too did people forget

[@KyleLowryRaptorsGOAT]

Yeah but Gasol was a shell of his former self. I'd say he was even worse than he was in Toronto

Russ will always be my goat! I knew Russ going to play with LBJ would go poorly. LBJ needs a shooting point gaurd and Russ needs shooters around him as well. Plus LBJ definitely killed that Russ confidence

[@caydenhoward9582]

Giddey doesn’t deserve this disrespect 🤦‍♂️

[@mikecandaza6199]

Trading for Russ was the biggest mistake the lakers did during LeBron tenure. It basically closed any real window this team had.

[@kassemouedraogo843]

I watch your vids everyday this must’ve really got to you cus you did this rebuild 3 times

[@los5206]

NEED this roster

Anyone else hear steve kerr say they almost traded curry in 2019 to the suns 😮

Hailburton and fox rebuild before nba 2k 25 maybe Matt 🎉😂❤

I still can’t believe that the lakers org though wb was a good idea when they literally embarrassed him in 2020.

How is Bones Hyland not a good draft pick?

[@BenjaminRibaric]

As a Westbrook fan, I am so glad he destroyed that pathetic team.

Do a damar DeRozan spurs rebuild

Can you do my warriors at 2020 when the drafted James wiseman over lamelo ball. Please take lamelo.

[@wojtaszek3224]

how did the rockets win harden was in brooklyn they were in rebuilt mode then

[@annebellamy]

I love lakers 😔❤️

[@ultralord6216]

This was a money grab by ownership and this fit didn’t make sense especially for the trade that was on the table before they toke Russ

Derrick Rose to the Knicks trade but in his Prime

We should note that the Lakers didn’t make this move, LaBum did. if he wasn’t on the Lakers, then that would’ve never have happened

[@moisesrodriguez3685]

we should also note that without him, the lakers would have 16 titles still and they would have miss the playoffs each year if he wasn't on the squad.
