  • Sheed and Bonzi love Russell Westbrook, but it is getting tough to watch his shooting struggles. After the Clippers playoff series loss to the Mavericks, Westbrook's future might be in question as he only shot in the low 20%'s from the field. Is he still and NBA starter? What is his future with the team and in the league?

Not being able to take care of your family. Not being able to afford great medical care. Your car breaks down and you cannot afford to get it repaired. Not being able to pay for college.

    Russ problem is he was so much faster than everybody so now his athleticism has slowed a bit he’s still trying to be faster than dudes who are faster at their age now. He needs to slow the game down and the triple doubles will come easy. He overworked for them in the pass so Steven Adams and dudes let him rebound because his pace determined the strategy at the time. Well on these new teams he wants to play fast on half court teams. His game seems uncomfortable half court style he’s basically ineffective out of transition. Russ needs to drive more and do that pull up J he used to do. Become like Rondo dice people up with your passing skills that will allow them to respect a part of your game. Rondo revamped his career like 3 different times throughout his career and was the reasons LA won the bubble title. Russ game has been built on speed and force so it’s hard to tell him to change something that worked for 10 years but todays game isn’t tailored for old ways your have to be innovative and quick to adjust. He occasionally hits those corner threes and late shot clocks 3s but he can survive without the 3 ball. It’s that middy pull up that stopped falling for him that hurts his game because now he’s one dimensional and tbh he’s starting to miss a lot of layups. With the lakers that’s why he was clowned relentlessly missed layups and crazy turnovers

    Tbh Russ has lost a good deal of athleticism over the yrs. That's probably a byproduct of being older. Plus the transition to a role player I think mentally he was clearly resistant to esp with the Lakers when being the star PG, your weaknesses are magnified 🔎 playing with Lebron. He's come to terms with that with the clippers because of their roster. I'm shocked his shooting regressed to the level it has but I think it's the decline of athleticism. He still goes hard in the paint but he can't rise above the rim for dunks the same way, and russ for all his energy knew how to play one way. His playmaking wasn't elite and his D was only ok thru his career.

    I don’t understand why these guys don’t understand why Westbrook has been struggling these last couple years. It’s simple, Russ as never been a great shooter and has always been inefficient overall. The reason why he’s never looked as bad was because he was the primary ball handler in OKC and was always given a chance to catch a rhythm and get his numbers which hasn’t been the case with the Lakers or Clippers.

    Not starting is hard to get a rhythm. If he started he would be hitting more effectively. And for those that talk like Russ can’t play he’d buss all y’all butts. Before Harden was given his starting soot he was effective. Even with Lakers his numbers were still better than most . FYI most NBA percentages aren’t that great .

  • @strawhatsanji4985

    I don't think Russ has the drive or hunger to get his jumper better again. 5-7 years ago yes, but now he's 35 end of his career, has kids, a wife and a lot of businesses. I think he's just going with the flow, also he comes across as someone who's stubborn and stuck in his ways.
    He'll do his usual routine, train with the team and thats it.
    He's my favorite player of all time, but when you see someone not getting better at something its usually because they're not training it properly and getting the right personal coaches because its crystal clear the personal coaches he has right now should be fired.

    The problem with westbrook is that he hasn't evolved his game. He still plays the same as he did when he was in his prime or early days. Which was relying 100% on his athletic ability. For the past 5 seasons or so his athletic ability has been in sharp decline. Look at jordan. In the second 3 peat he didn't use his athletic ability as much to score. He developed a post up game and used that because he wasn't the same athlete anymore. Even someone like jason kidd. In his later years he became a good 3- point shooter when before he was a bad 3 point shooter. But at least westbrook plays and plays hard. Kawhi and George are both soft af and have no competitive drive.

      That's why you see him with an attitude on the court because Russ is like, "ok, let's play physical"...😂
      Then they call fouls on him but won't reciprocate on the other end....
      I think Russ can still help a team as their starting pg.
      Pts, rebounds, assists, and defense.....he can still score, can still rebound, is still an exceptional passer, and was rated one of the better defensive guards in the game this past season.
      I think he's far from washed.
      What he isn't, is an off the ball shooting guard, even though his off the ball game as a cutter/roller has improved.
      He is an on the ball point guard who no longer needs to have a high usage rate if he plays with two star level players....
      The Clippers pg role was perfect for him.
      I think The Clippers made a mistake trading for James Harden.

      I think that might be a very strong possibility.
      I had it stronger had The Suns hired Coach Scotty Brooks but Coach Mike Budenholzer is also a head coach that wants a quick pace.
      Russ is one of the masters of leading high pace offense.
      I actually think it's The Clippers that should retain him and move away from James Harden but yes i agree, The Suns are a really good spot for Russ.
      You have efficient shooters in KD and D Book, which means Russ won't feel the pressure to score points at a high level and now Beal can be the team's high powered 6th man....
      Another thing to consider is how KD and Beal see Russ as an inspirational figure, both had major success next to him...
      As a fan of his i would like to see him retire as either a Clipper or Thunder, but i do have Chicago, Miami, and Phoenix as spots that should consider Russell Westbrook as their starting pg....
      His efficiency while not great, is much better when he is on the ball.

      @@elvisfreshly5571 ....well he is already under contract for $2 mil but it's a player's option.
      The Suns are not allowed to begin discussions with players at the moment.
      I'm not sure when these dates kick in for players to opt in or out?
      I am expecting Russ to opt out, however his agent, once free agency begins, i think can start contacting teams on his behalf?
      Since The Suns are very limited cap-wise and can't offer a vet the MLE, what can happen between The Clippers and Suns is an agreed upon opt in for Russ at his $2 mil number, then a sign and trade deal to The Phoenix Suns.
      This is done with the agreement with The Suns that Russ is saying yes, only if he will be the starting point guard.
      That's sort of how The Clippers beat out The Bulls late last season, they promised Russ the starting job.
      Russ' agent can also get some guarantees from The Suns, which would then assume Russ' rights, that an extension would be in the works that basically ties KD, Beal, and Russ together.
      The Suns can only bump up his pay once he is a Sun, however they can only give him a slight bump in pay due to CBA rules, so this would not be a money play for Russ. It would be his willingness to play for $4-$6 mil each year to end his career.
      In other words, they are not allowed to bump him from $2 mil to say $8 or $12 mil....
      If Russ opts out to become an unrestricted free agent, i'm not sure The Suns can compete, unless Russ wants to do another one year deal at the vet min as you suggested.
      I believe he would only do that if he is staying in LA.
