Horrible Day For Laker Nation

Russell Westbrook dropped a video this morning and I’ve got to warn you, Laker fans, it’s a killer. Are you ready? You may think you are.  But I know you’re not.  So before I hit play, you’ve been warned. Check it:

Turns out Russ’s singing is about as good as his shooting.  And right now, pretty much no one in the league shoots it worse than this dude.  Dude has no range on the floor or on the mic. 

That’s the worst singing from an athlete since Carl Lewis grabbed a microphone before a Nets game.

The GOAT. The absolute king. And don’t you forget it.

But back to Russ, because it’s hilarious that he’s singing along to Beyonce’s “Break My Soul” just minutes before breaking the soul of every Lakers fan. 

Because shortly after that video dropped came the official word that Russ was opting in to the final year of his deal worth 47 million.

And even though it’s not a shock, in fact, it was totally expected, it still doesn’t ease the pain for Laker fans.

This guy’s singing about how you won’t break my soul and then shatters the soul of every Laker fan. You can’t break Russ’s soul, but he can break your backboard. HEYYYY-OOOOOO!

But I’ll be real – I prefer Russ’s way of doing it to Kyrie’s. His horrible singing was still better than Kyrie’s “Normal people keep the world going, but those who dare to be different lead us into tomorrow.”

At least Russ didn’t announce that he was opting in for nearly 50 mill and then claim that the ethereal plane is mightier than the tangible realm. Or some horsebleep like that.

So, Laker fans, you’re stuck with him. Sorry. All the photoshops didn’t work. Pounding the trade machine until your fingers bled amounted to nothing.

Not only that, Laker fans, but things might actually get even worse. Because John Wall is reportedly on the verge of joining the Clippers.

According to multiple reports, Wall has opted in to his deal with the Rockets and then agreed to a buyout. He will now become a free agent with the expectation of signing with the Clippers once he clears waivers.

There was a time when John Wall as a free agent would be incredibly exciting news. Now is not that time. Now it’s a giant “meh.” 

Except, it’s more salt in the wounds for the Lakers, because the Clippers are most likely going to be getting him for less than 7 mill.

So while the Lakers are paying 47 mill for Russ, the Clippers can afford to roll the dice on Wall and maybe they come up with something. 

They’ll have Kawhi coming back, they’ll have Paul George healthy for as long as he can stay healthy, and they have a damn good coach in Ty Lue. 

And what do Kawhi, Paul George, Ty Lue, and John Wall all have in common? Laker fans thought that all of them were going to be Lakers in the last few years. 

Paul George was allegedly a lock to be a Laker until they read him a poem during their pitch to him. Kawhi was supposedly on his way to joining the Lakers until he wasn’t. Ty Lue was open to being their head coach, until they tried to screw him over. 

And John Wall was supposedly the answer to getting rid of Russell Westbrook. And now all of them are in Clippers gear and have a much better look at a title than the Lakers do. 

Have fun with that Laker fan.  And have fun with this:

I love how the most thin skinned guy ever, is bumping and destroying that song: you can’t break my soul: randon eggs on twitter do it on the daily dude.
