[OFFICIAL] Russell Westbrook as a Los Angeles Laker thread

Sadly for him, he is too good to lead a tank team also. Where can he fit?

Maybe a perpetual first round playoff exit team?

 

should of stay here for Cylus and Locust to develop his shot...
@Salvy

 

if we he can get him back here perhaps silas can finish his development so he can become a complete player? silas is best at development....and imagine westbrook in Silas system?! wow!...and lucas can help him with shooting...

 

Westbrick never should have been a Rocket.

 

Or develop his vision, if he wants to make a bank shot, the shot has to be flater.

 

If Russ is traded here; that FRP better be unprotected. Because them future Russ low-lights will be in a Rockets uniform and those videos will live on the Internet for a long time.

 

His only low-lights will be a the Cheese Cake Factory scamming for free Cheese Cake. He won't get minutes here.

 

I don't feel like he's much different than previous seasons, just older and less athletic. The Lakers needed Westbrook from 5 years ago, at least. I actually feel like he can be a good fit to a team, but as what many have suggested ... "coming off the bench." Which can be a big blow to a superstar's ego and confidence.

Oddly enough, I don't feel like the Lakers would have been much better without the trade, because AD would still be out as LeBron has missed a few games as well. They'd have absolutely no go-to players -- Trez, Caldwell, and Kuzma are all fine players, but the Lakers would be near the capitol of Lottery-ville.

Even with a player, like Buddy Hield, it wouldn't have made them effective, if he wasn't on the court with AD and LeBron. They needed a playmaker, since Schroeder basically left and turned down $84 MM. Westbrook was the only guy they could easily afford or was available.

 

Westbrook needs to go through the Dwight process. Getting passed around, becoming irrelevant, and finally accepting that he's really not that good and should take a low key role on a team that doesn't mind playing him spot minutes.

Or he can just retire and say he wants to spend more time with his family.

 

LOL. Still can't believe we gave up on CP3 for this clown. It still stings.

 

we have another cp3 on our roster... not even playing him much just a few minutes here and there, his name is alperen sengun... too bad hes ill (probably has cancer) so he gets tired quickly and we cant risk a player dying on the court...kinda like chriss bosh situation...

 

Probably has cancer... what da?! Lol

I am still mad we traded Capela to accommodate Westbrick.
