| He has been more of an answer In oppose to the problem so far this year. You can argue he is the most consistent of the big 3 |

Russ always starts slow. He gets better as the season goes on.
Rhythm guy that starts to feed off relentless energy while fatigue sets in for many players in the league. |

| He's irrelevant. He will be a footnote just like Green was. I think if we were to win #18, it would be because of Lebron and AD's dominance. Westbrook's contribution shouldn't alter whatever the outcome is supposed to be. |

Harsh but a lotta truth, it’s on AD to step up to an alpha and Bron to age like a fine alpha wine, everything else is extra parts |

That's a somewhat valid concern - it's not like what happened with Harden and RW - that team was junky.
But RW has a history of doing "too much" in key moments that involve not getting the ball to guys like KD, etc.
I do think he's an imperfect fit but that the main issues of the team are health and lack of defensive depth. RW isn't the core issue but that they put so much in resources into him, it hurt the depth.
TBD!

This is a team of names. IMO whoever put this roster together didn't use chemistry as an ingredient. It's a one year championship or bust roster. Looks like it's gonna be, bust.

Fixed.
This isn’t 2009-12 so it was likely to bust. The only thing we thought would save this season was Russ being an innings eater for Lebron and AD actually playing like a top 5 player in the league.
Russ hasn’t been too far off. AD is not even in the top 30 right now. |

| Did we determine that we judged the Westbrook trade too soon…too soon? |
