Skip Bayless Reacts to Lakers Trading for Russell Westbrook

Skip Bayless’ fake hatred for LeBron James has always been super entertaining. Bayless has proven himself to be a one of the best hot takers on LeBron’s accomplishments. Skip’s entire persona is all about trolling LeBron. Skip was back at it again last night after news dropped of the Lakers trading for Russell Westbrook.

Skipped went all in:

LeBron James is still the best passer in basketball. Lakers are best when he's playing PG, initiating the offense. And now they've added RUSSELL WESTBROOK? I realize LeBron needs to surround himself with all the stars (and help) he can get – BUT NOT THIS STAR. Desperate disaster.

Russell Westbrook, going home to LA, will be on his best behavior for a while with LeBron. But as the pressure mounts, as the playoffs approach, you'll see more and more of, "I got this, Bron." KD was right to leave Russ.

“LeBron James is still the best passer in basketball. Lakers are best when he’s playing PG, initiating the offense,” Bayless began. “And now they’ve added RUSSELL WESTBROOK? I realize LeBron needs to surround himself with all the stars (and help) he can get – BUT NOT THIS STAR. Desperate disaster.” Bayless went on to continue his rant by claiming that Westbrook will be a good player at first, but eventually it will all fall apart.

Bayless continued to rant even more as he called Russ and LeBron “Westbrick and LeBrick.”

Now the Lakers have a backcourt of Westbrick and LeBrick, a nightly air ball display.

Skip is a clown, but he’s our clown.
