The LA Lakers were so bad last season that in their offseason for the 2022-23 campaign their biggest signing was point guard Patrick Beverley who wasn't the right fit for the team and then was traded before the NBA's deadline.

Since Pat Bev got traded from the LA Lakers, he hasn't stopped having shots at the team, and he continues to do so every time he gets a new opportunity. The latest one comes out of his podcast when talking about LA's current struggles.

On Tuesday night, the Lakers lost to the Atlanta Hawks, and different players gave some cryptic messages online, one of them was LeBron James who posted an hourglass emoji which sparked a lot of debates and got the NBA world about what it meant.

Pat Bev took that and spoke about his experience with the team saying: "When I left, they blamed me; they blamed Russ. We're on some of the best teams in the NBA." For Pat Bev, the team always is looking for a scapegoat and he believes he and Westbrook were last year's scapegoats.

The Lakers have lost Jarred Vanderbilt for several weeks

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski recently announced that Vanderbilt is expected to miss several weeks with a right foot injury, now has added: "There’s more evaluation that needs to be done on right mid-foot area for Vanderbilt and possibility his absence could be more significant than several weeks, sources said. Vanderbilt’s played some of his best ball as a Laker lately and certainly is one of team’s best defenders."
