    BLUF with Westbrooke is who else LAL adds. If they get 2-3 shooters they can win the le IMO.

    110 defensive rating. That’s Hardenesque. What’s worse than that, Russ had a d rating of 122 in the playoffs. Not even Harden ever played that bad defensively
    Didn't you say that about 2018 Bron? When Vogel was hired, Lakers have been top 3 defense for 2 years and counting. He must've done an outstanding job of hiring TOSBron.

    Wizards putrid defense collectively has no barring on Westbrook's defense individually. Not worried here.

    I live near DC and saw WB x 2 in person and a lot on TV. He has faults but no one plays harder and I think that GM James weighed in here and said get him over Hield.

    I don't think a ton of Westbrook defensively but this isnt exactly a great measure to go by when Washington and Houston were two completely awful defensive teams in general. And to compare Russ to Harden, Russ was a guy who actually would defend the opposing teams best player whereas Harden was routinely hidden. And tbh pretty much any star level player is actually capable of playing good defense when they feel they have to, including harden and Westbrook. in a system where they are expected to focus on defense, be held accountable, provided with paint help, and not asked to be the lead scorer rebounder and run point, I think playing harder and more consistent on defense becomes much easier to do.

    Westbrook won't be a lockdown guy, but I imagine he will play pretty solidly defensively. The question is whether he can keep his emotions in check and avoid doing stupid stuff and playing hero ball just because someone trash talks a little or looks at him after scoring on him.

    It was just a matter of hauling his black ass up off the hard wood where he was kneeling & peeling & adhering those BLM decals all over white's creations, Rummy.

    Though I don't know why we couldn't have Hield too. They got the dough over there, comin' out their collective wazoo's.

    I'm sure a re would go full out in a chess match too, slamming pieces and playing harder. That doesn't mean in the end. Westbrook is a "me first" player, always will be.

    Isn't the object to win? He's doing what every star should be doing.

    Buddy Hield, or, somebody else that can take it & stick that jumper without fouling their game shorts.

    Colluding up the ass with Superstars? Does he need Paul George as a 6th man? What else can we do for you Lebron to avoid finals loss number 7?

    If they win the chip, and he's denied finals MVP, expect him to be pouting in a corner during the trophy presentation..

    Slight changes:

    Davis
    Bron
    Melo
    Baze
    Melo

    At least, I think that will be the initial starting lineup. Chucky the only one who can't shoot 3s

    I love how the salary cap just doesn’t exist for teams like the Lakers and Heat, and now Brooklyn. Everybody will just sign there for minimum contracts.

    NBA has to go hard cap like the NFL if they ever want compe ive balance.
