that's an exaggeration but he's not too far off. You trade Russ and you better find a dude who can do what he can do for AD. Schroeder can't do it and he's part of the reason why AD starting falling off in 2021. AD would be visibly frustrated that dennis couldn't get him looks. it's impossible to praise AD's resurgence right now without praising Russ' playmaking cause it's hand in hand.
Westbrook isn't doing shyt for AD.
@MyApps is just trying to push his shameless ass
Westbrook is the Lakers' best player agenda. He's been trying to gas him up over AD all season. He's not arguing in good faith.
AD only started falling off because he couldn't stay healthy, and struggled to find rhythm with his jumper (which he no doubt will hit another bump in the road in the future).
Look at all the looks that Schroeder gives him. He's clearly capable of getting him the ball in good spots.
Whatever you believe Westbrook is doing is easily replaceable. AD is in a zone right now, and only needs the ball in his hands. Nobody on the team is doing anything special - it's all him.
