I had a feeling that Westbrook would thrive off the bench, at this stage in his career. Yet, there always seems to be some drama that follows him from team to team. Enough for teams to move on from him in short order. Westbrook will get his stats, but they never seem to be enough for teams to want to keep him. The FO should factor that in.
what drama? Name the drama please... seriouslyHe's wildly overpaid. Good player. Not a supermax guy obviously. Traded for other not super max guys. Ive never heard of any drama. All he does is play hard. Not the highest IQ player either. The Randle of PGs if you will. Remember this is a bench role and he would be ab impact guy and we get a draft asset or two
not really true
only partially true
and no. He played poorly, took a huge amount of abuse and kept showing up and playing hard. That's not drama. Thats a $40mm guy playing poorly in LA.
Randle was more dramatic last year than anything Westbrook has done
I think LA will keep him til the end of the season and then try to make a splash in free agency. The pure of LeBron AND and the Lakers should be enough to get them a better FA than anyone the Knicks would be offering.
