  • During his introductory press conference yesterday, Russell Westbrook said he understands his new role playing alongside LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Russ said he knows his job is to make LeBron’s game easier for him, adding QUOTE: 'LeBron is one of the best players to play this game, and his ability to do everything on the floor allows me to just figure it out…There’s many different ways you can impact the game without having the ball in your hands.' Hear whether Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe believe Westbrook can mesh with LeBron's system.

      This is obviously his best 3. Miami Heat’s Dwade was only still “Dwade” for the first year and maybe 2nd, but from then on that was just name brand mixed in with injuries. Bosh was great, he just had to sacrifice shots. If uk ball uk Bosh was prolly the best 3rd option of all-time in terms of just going underrated but making winning plays. Cleveland K-love was just not the same. His game didn’t really fit with ball dominant Lebron and Kyrie. So even if you wanna say Kyrie as good as AD or first year Dwade(which he isn’t). You still gotta take the Lakers over Cavs just b/c of the third option. Btw lowkey Russ a clutch shooter, think about how bad of a 3 pt shooter he is regularly and then think about how many buzzers or big time 3’s late game he’s hit. Even for his misses it’s still gotta be at a better clip then his regular long distance shots

    Russ never thought he was the 1st option with KD. 6 of there 8 seasons together KD led the team in shots. Both of the seasons Russ led the team KD was injured. When PG & Melo came to HIS team after he won MVP he sacrificed shots. In his 2nd season with PG he took a backseat to PG on HIS team. Houston, he took a backseat to Harden. Why does Skip think he’s gonna come to LA and take over?

      I'm pretty sure westbrook led in shots three years but I might be wrong.
      You are missing the point. For the first 3 or so seasons Westbrook was a young guy still improving and earning his reputation. As soon as he entered his prime he started shooting basically as much or more than KD. He also was starting to completely controlled when KD shot or touched the ball.
      I don't care what people say. A career 42% shooter from the field and 32% from three should never even be close to the amount of shots KD takes. KD take very few shots for the level of scorer he is but westbrook should not have shot 22 times a game or even 20 as long as KD was there

    There are 2 main things to consider. 1.) Russ wants a title on his resume. He has all the individual accolades you can have. After 13 seasons, he has seen the results of what he does and he knows that won't get him a title in LA.
    2.) Lebron is a masterful leader. He will show Russ that he can still get great stats while playing winning basketball. Russ has never had a teammate who could show him that.
    I also think we will see Russ work a bit harder on the defensive end. He wants a title. Russ will make some adjustments to his game.

      @The_SCPFoundation Před 2 lety +1

      No he's not. Vogel has been great for us just like he was for the pacers. Injuries in the playoffs made his long term plans look like short term failures. But his rotations in the playoffs were made with the thought of keeping players that were likely to not return limited in showcasing value going into free agency. It was genius snaking. Think about it, trez had a option but knowing he would demand a big contract while not really fitting well, keep him off court so his offers are limited. Let Kuz get minutes to make him a tradable piece. Gasol was on a wink wink 2 year with options to retire second year and keep the money. Dennis wanted 100 mill, but couldn't prove it. Ad and Bron wasn't 100% but if they could push thru, we would have played for championship now. But since they weren't championship healthy, no reason to let the others increase their free agency value in the playoffs. Now, look at the rebuild all his moves led to. If his decisions are bad this year, you can convince me of your claim, but for now, he got us a chip, and led the team to the number 1 ranked defense in the league this year. Great defensive minded coach
