Westbrook was one of the problems. You could literally leave him wide open on three point line. You can't do that with D-Lo because eventually he's gonna hit threes at some of the games. Is he overrated? Yes he is. You wasn't getting something spectacular in trade return from Westbrook.
If the Lakers bench D Lo they can win the next four games
- Thread starter WMG the 2nd
- Start date
They can’t pay Irving
And to be honest, i don’t think Irving is the answer either if you value consistency and stability
Yeah, if they could sign him and trade him for maybe another big, just because of how uncertain AD's availability is.
He shouldn't be all together benched just yet, but he needs an extremely short leash.
Him and Vando are the 2 extremes at this point. His defense is so horrific hes almost unplayable..... Meanwhile Vandos offense is so horrific that he's almost unplayable also
It's a chitty situation.

nikkas really thought he was the answer. Dude is a fukking bum who aint 25% of what he think he is
First offI've been calling for his head since game one.
Secondly, he made me miss out on $1,200 because of the way he played in game one.
He not even one of my favorite Buckeyes anyway. I still root for him, but when you cost me money, sit your ass down

nikka they was under .500 now they in the conference finals.
Looks like you summed up that bozo @smitty22 as well.
Warriors coach Steve Kerr finally got sick of Jordan Poole
Warriors guard Jordan Poole played just 10 minutes against the Lakers in a critical Game...
Conference finals?
Funny because Russ was 50 times better on the clippers roster… which begs the question it wasn’t Russ it was the coach and Bron
How are we still having this conversation?
HE WAS THE PROBLEM
Westbrook’s mere presence stifled literally every rotation player. There is no Vando at all which is the wing defense, there is no AR breakrhru, bron has less space, etc
Being played out of 1 series happens. If LA Were to play Miami he’s be right back as a starter and 3rd leading scorer.
This a bad matchup bc of Murray and MPJ
at this point would malik beasley be that much worse?
Imo it’s a done deal. Bc once kyrie makes it clear he wants LA, that’s the MO for the league they make it happen. Teams dont want players that don’t want to be there
The only thing that’s changed is now Dallas may want Reaves or Rui instead of D Lo in the S& T. Either way that’s gonn Abe it Dalls doesn’t really have a choice if Kyrie demands LA
He played 40 minutes per game in some of the games in Phoenix series. When Westbrook is given freedom to be Westbrook, he can get you stats. When he's asked to be 3rd or 4th option it becomes more problematic. Obviously teaming up with other ball dominant players like Bron would be bad for Westbrook too.
