Lakers fans petition state media: Don't trade Russell and Hachimura The person who should be sent away is Ham

On January 23, Beijing time, the Lakers' official social media posted pictures and videos of Russell's 34 points yesterday, with the caption: "The shooting rate is 66.7%, the three-point shooting rate is 54.5%, and Russell is on fire last night!" The voice of Lakers fans is unanimous: Don't trade Russell and Hachimura, it's Ham who should be sent away.

The most liked comments were written like this-

"If you're going to trade him, why are you sending this?"

"Don't trade Russell or Hachimura!"

"That's the Russell we need!"

"Hopefully we can keep Russell!"

"Hamm is the problem, not these players!"

"Send Hamm away!"

Obviously, Russell's recent performance has conquered Lakers fans, and in the past five games, Russell has averaged 27.2 points and 6.4 assists per game, shooting 56% from the field and 4.4 three-pointers per game. On the contrary, it is Ham's series of coaching performances that make Lakers fans more and more dissatisfied, especially when it comes to critical moments, he seems to lack a way to deal with it. This is in stark contrast to Tyronn Lue, the coach of the Clippers in the same city.

The Clippers reversed the Nets by 18 points yesterday, and they finally won the game after falling behind 0-16 in the opening game, especially when Lue switched to a small-ball lineup at the last minute, and blasted out a wave of 22-0, which was incredible.

While Lakers fans are reluctant to russell, the latest reports show that the Lakers are close to reaching a deal with the Hawks for Murray, and the only major obstacle is the need to find a third home for Russell. In addition, the Lakers' recent negotiation chips almost all include Russell, which also shows that it is really unlikely that Russell will stay with the team.

Do you think the Lakers would regret it if they really sent Russell away?
