    Y'all are forgetting Russ stats as a starter last season before harden came. 15 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assist a game
  • @arturo1320
    Westbrook can play the Bruce Brown role and be a pivotal bench player with hard defense, basketball IQ, and attacking the rim.
  • He's the ideal role playing Guard for that team. He'll crash the glass, and push tempo. He'll defend. He'll be free to bully smaller Guards in the post. He can be a cutter, and play in the dunker spot. He'll defend. He'll set the tone through his determination and will. In the half court, we all know Jokic.. will be Jokic.

    Russ should have stayed in DC with the Wizards low key. I think he'd still be a max player and Jordan Poole needed a guy like that to get him back on his feet

    I'm kinda 50/50 with Westbrook bec I thought Bogdanovic of Atlanta is a better option

    Take is crazy and I haven’t even watched yet
  • @bc_qbeval
    Gil, did you not watch this dude in the playoffs a couple months ago? 8 for 42 from the field, 2 for 13 from 3 over a 4 game stretch...his playmaking cannot compensate for that level of inefficiency. Defenses bait him into shooting jumpers that everyone knows he won't make. He's not a consistent finisher anymore either. There's a reason he's gotten traded like 5 times in the last 7-8 seasons.
  • @AyyeBC
    Brandon Jennings said guards nowadays are hitting consistent shots? Has he not seen Jamal Murray and Tyrese maxey
  • @josh0253
    These guys love players that put up big numbers and get knocked out in the first round. Just go back to any conversation they have if the guy puts up good numbers that actually leads his team to winning, they'll criticize them to death, but if you put up huge numbers and get gentlemen swept every year as the number 1 guy, they love those type of players.

    Denver Nuggets = 2025 NBA Champions 🏆 🥳
  • If Westbrook comes to your team. You know you guys are not getting past the first round. This is horrible for my nuggets.. But when Westbrook leaves your team for some reason goes further
  • @HunchoColeman
    Lakers never didn’t like Russ for strictly his play it was the fact bro was making 47 million and refused to take a pay cut to help the team. Now Russ for the minimum we’ll take that anyday of the week
  • @treperry23
    Anybody telling Russ “just hoop” after watching the lakers ain’t really watching. Russ should be given a defined role. Bruce brown role is the perfect opportunity for Russ.
