He has no touch around the rim. Like somebody shot his arms up with Novocain.

40 point triple double coming for Russ tonight
Bad news. Lakers might not trade him.

Serious question:

What team would truly want him next year as a free agent?

He brings a lot of energy, speed, and he rebounds(if they need guards crashing the board.lol) - this is undeniable.

But he is a liability on defense, cannot shoot 3s nor midrangers, bad free throw shooter, can't finish at the rim, and the defenders simply sag off him daring him to shoot.

Any team that would give him 10million per year would be outright dumb.

Up 5 chance to go up big. What happens?

Bad inbounds pass, missed spinning layup, ill-advised pull up 3, and we go from up 5 to down 3 in 2 minutes.

He does this in the final 90 seconds of every quarter in which he plays the final 90 seconds. He’s a disaster of a basketball player. His 10-15 good possessions are mitigated by his horrific 25-30. A momentum killing and losing basketball player. I’ve never seen anyone quite like him.

Perfect example of "addition by subtraction" type of player...

Russ is just a stupid player.

Fun player if your team sucks and you want someone to do exciting (and stupid) things.

I respect the guy as he plays hard and is tough (we honestly can not say that about most of our players). The problem is the guy sucks and is really hurting us.

He reminds me of something an old coach would say in that he, "plays hard, but don't play smart."

He plays fast not hard. He stands around on offense when he doesn't have the ball and on defense as well. He is a liability on both ends of the court.

Can't wait to see him gone.
I can't remember a Lakers player I despised as much as Westbrook.

Astute observation; not every play is like that but many are.
