I'd rather keep Westbrook, just give him time. Let him play his game. Give Lebron and AD a break. I'm not moving Westbrook only if I can get someone like Damion lilliard back from that trade
@@bucketgetterjr4810 no its WB. Hes dumb and refused to change. Even if AD doesnt play for a whole season he still did much better because WB play is weighing people down. Hes an anchor that sinks a team with a championship aspiration

He specifically said he would not let winning or not winning a championship define his legacy or who he is as a player. Totally different than the context presented in that misquote. I'm not a huge fan of RW but he's still a great player.
@@teoveski6026 that’s not true. When it’s crunch time in the 4th qtr with ten seconds left and lebron passes it when his team needs him to take over…why doesn’t he shoot it?? throughout his career Bron fans make excuses and says he made the right play when he passes regardless of the outcome. Keep that same energy. And the only reason he didn’t play those two games becuse he knew how it would look. He couldn’t deny stat padding if he played those games so Ofcourse he not going to blatantly look like he chasing stats. But if you have eyes and a brain you would understand that he is. You don’t go from 10 assists the year before to averaging the least amount you have in the last ten years.
In Houston, second half of the season I seen Westbrook change his game up and play winning basketball. He basically just stopped attempting threes and let harden run the point lol but it can work
@@nanathegoat5106 I knew!!! it's pretty easy to see too. LeBron is ball dominant and needs shooters. Except Russ is ball dominant and can't shoot and can't dribble and can't pass and has the lowest basket ball IQ of a starting pg I've ever seen.
I want to see what Darvin Ham can do with Westbrook. If this doesn’t work with Russell this time around he’s going to be forever hated by his own city 😢
I’ve literally been called a hater for saying the phrase “You have to update your resume every year.” Don’t remember what athlete or show host said this but it’s so telling for guys like Westbrook. I’m an MVP and all star, I have nothing left to prove! BS learn how to be a team player instead of stat chaser.
Honestly it'd make sense to have LBJ and AD start and close and let Russ keep the other team on their toes with the bench being younger and faster paced to match with his energy. All that depends on people's effort on defense though
If the read the article & not just the headline, they would know that it never said Lakers were planning to keep him. They said they would rather keep him than have to use 1st round picks to trade him. They’re still trying to trade him but don’t want to include any 1st round picks, it’s basically to have leverage. Teams think the Lakers are desperate to trade Russ (which they probably are) so they’re trying to fleece the Lakers. But when the Lakers say they’d rather keep him than give up picks, the create the leverage to teams that want Russ’ expiring deal to get off their longer contracts because then they think they actually might not be desperate to trade him. All expiring deals are + assets, no matter how big the contract is. If any other player not named Russ that wasn’t on the Lakers or Brons teammate & just averaged 19-7-7, they could trade him in minutes. Wouldn’t be hard at all. But nobody wants to “help” the Lakers or Bron so they ask for way more than they would if it was any other team. Laker tax.
Russell’s biggest strength is his biggest weakness…. Russ simply doesn’t consider failure even when he’s failing because of his single mindedness. There are certain players (such as Ben Simmons) that would be serious players if they had Westbrooks lack of fear of missing or stinking the place up.
Why is shannon bringing up it took houston 7 games? I think russ only played 2-3 of the games and had an injured quad up until halfway through the wizards season

@@user-gv1ud2oq1w I’ve been a Laker fan my whole life. This is nothing new. The Lakers always have these issues with contracts then they hit reset and win a championship.

These reports are made for the same exact reaction you’re giving now. We don’t know what the Lakers are planning it’s best to remain patient.
Have you ever tried to put together a puzzle where the pieces just don’t fit? Why are NBA “fans” so quick to blame coaches when in reality the “pieces of the puzzle” don’t fit together and it’s nobodies fault other than the company that made the puzzle in the first place. Already setting Darvin Ham up for failure to be honest
Idk why Shannon keep talking about his triple double didn’t equate to winning. When he got one he won 70% of the time. They don’t help him win championships but they do help him win.
@@keonjames4706 . I don’t think he has played any season without a superstar. He had KD for most of his time in OKC, PG his last two years there, Harden in Houston, Beal in Washington, and Lebron in LA. He averaged a triple double four seasons ( 1 with KD, 2 with PG, and 1 with Beal). I don’t really see the point of your question

I don’t like keeping Russ either but what are the lakers gonna do? Their hands are tied. My only hope now is that Russ bounces back and has a good season. And of course health for all players especially LbJ and AD. I mean how much worst can he get lol I write these words with the most superstitious caution 😂 🤞🏽
For anyone who reads this keep grinding and keep pushing. Whatever it is in life you want to do to after it life is to short. Life is a marathon not a race so go out there and live it up peace one love! ✌🏽🙏🏽
To be honest I rather keep Westbrook & trade injury prone AD. Russ is more athletic & stronger than AD. A feather 🪶 can land on AD & boom his leg goes out for the whole season.
They need to use him sporadically, like whenever they want to inject energy into a game or play the fast break style. He should be the 10th man on this roster but we all know they will keep starting him and that they're going nowhere while Lebron just puts more miles on his body.
We'll take Russ back in DC he was actually pretty good here. He loves our City and fans. Most importantly we need a PG.. I'll gladly take Russ back with my Wizards
I have watched over 10 years of local high school basketball in my area, thousands of games and I have never seen anybody hit the side of the backboard. Shannon right, that is one difficult trick shot, Russ should consider joining the Globetrotters.
as a Lakers fan, I still blame LeBron for this. when that trade news broke, I was so hurt lol. I knew the season wasn't going to amount to anything. did I think we would miss the playoffs? not that far. but LeBron picked him. and ad is broke. so it'll be very hard to turn things around.
As a lakers fan I watched along with you seeing our young talent dismantled for some old ladies. They even call Lebron a lakers Legend😂😂😂😂 a real lakers fan would never.. 1 playoff out of four seasons is not success and we’re going on season 5. I hope the Lakers culture will rebound since some of our fans have accepted losing just to ride the Lebum train. I’m sick of it. 5 seasons 1 playoff dim future. This team is getting no better this year at all. This new coach will receive all the blame..
Look, we know Russ is not the biggest problem. But he is a part of the big problem. Being paid $40m and giving what he did is not the way to go. We knew it was going to be a style change, but nobody expected Russ to be this bad.
Shannon. Your Lebricks can only play one way too. Only with teams full of 3 point shooters and strong defenders, what will he be doing then? as usual getting all the credit for just showing up. Even a mad dog can win with such players in his team.
Am I The Only One That Misses When Guests Used To Come On The Show? Seems Like Nobody Actually Comes And Sits Down In The Studio With Them Anymore If They Have A Guest Its Usually Virtual.. Kinda Disappointing Still My Favorite Sports Talk Show Though
People are loving this russ hate but let's not forget when kd left russ gave him the work when they faced GS. This Westbrook we saw this year is not the Westbrook we all saw in okc
IQ matter I don’t see growing mentally effort matter but knowing how to win matters too not making mistakes and making winning plays when it counts is the difference he’s been great at what he does but he needs to evolve
So basically what's the point debating Westbrook if yall always both agree that yall don't trust Westbrook on the Lakers? No talk of coaching, no talk of defense? no talk of Anthony Davis? no talk of them letting go Rondo? No talk of them grabbing younger prospects? Cmon stop
He always mentions that he came up from the inner city, so in his mind just being in NBA with the money he is earning is something special for him. Idk his life growing up, but after studying about inner city kids and their mentality for a couple months this year, I feel like no one will talk him out of changing his methods since it got him this far. Good luck to Westbrook. All the criticism he got since playing in LA is crazy.

1 . No defense
2. AD missing 30+ games every year .
3 . Russell Westbrook
Hard to play some defense when your PG keep giving them the ball
Ham can help with the Defense part. That's about it.
They don’t defend the three and then they themselves don’t have enough shooters to keep up.

Russ had a bad year. But AD has been soft his whole career. Relying on AD is the problem.
Dat part
damn straight
AD gets no blame because Russ was put in LA played bad on purpose in my opinion for the out for LBJ he was placed there by LBJ to be his fall guy.
I agree..... Russ has carried teams before but Davis is unreliable
Russ had one of the worst years I’ve ever seen a player have. We already won with AD hes not the problem
Trying to win with Russ is like trying to swim with cement shoes.
Dawg , big facts !
LeBron wanted Russ. If LeBron's IQ is so high, then why is Russ on the Lakers team?
In Houston, second half of the season I seen Westbrook change his game up and play winning basketball. He basically just stopped attempting threes and let harden run the point lol but it can work
But you can't play a guard who's a liability from deep in the playoffs
Shannon will say ..(& probably do).. anything to deflect criticism from LeBron.
Pure comedy
Scott Brooks had russ twice, Donovan had him only in Okc
I can’t believe LeBron put Russ in his last years of playing . Picking him up Is like saying you’re done trying to win
Not only that, you will lose in some of the most embarrassing ways possible. Russ plays like a clown show at times

Shannon Sharpe don't feel stupid if Westbrook does good how often do you see Russell Westbrook have back-to-back bad years
He should feel stupid if that happens.
If we’re talking winning at the highest level every year
His only role can be off the bench. Bron bas to go back to being the starting point.
Who was the starting point this past year?
Honestly it'd make sense to have LBJ and AD start and close and let Russ keep the other team on their toes with the bench being younger and faster paced to match with his energy. All that depends on people's effort on defense though
Nunn should run point with Lebron, AD, Monk, and AR15. Russ should run with Dwight, Melo, Bradley, and either Ellington or Bazemore.
LeBron ran point this year too. The problem is not only Westbrick but also LeStatpad.

If they don't fix their defense, it won't make any difference whether Russ is there or not.
Look, we know Russ is not the biggest problem. But he is a part of the big problem. Being paid $40m and giving what he did is not the way to go. We knew it was going to be a style change, but nobody expected Russ to be this bad.
Shannon. Your Lebricks can only play one way too. Only with teams full of 3 point shooters and strong defenders, what will he be doing then? as usual getting all the credit for just showing up. Even a mad dog can win with such players in his team.
Am I The Only One That Misses When Guests Used To Come On The Show? Seems Like Nobody Actually Comes And Sits Down In The Studio With Them Anymore If They Have A Guest Its Usually Virtual.. Kinda Disappointing Still My Favorite Sports Talk Show Though
If Russ didn’t have that terrible contract this wouldn’t be a problem
Lebron realized how Russell played even in the bubble up close and personal and he still wanted Russell
"A lot of guys are so focused on stats than winning" Shannon lol bruh... that's lebron 😆 🤣
No it isn't
People are loving this russ hate but let's not forget when kd left russ gave him the work when they faced GS. This Westbrook we saw this year is not the Westbrook we all saw in okc
KD took it easy on him if KD plays mad westbrick will run outta the court
IQ matter I don’t see growing mentally effort matter but knowing how to win matters too not making mistakes and making winning plays when it counts is the difference he’s been great at what he does but he needs to evolve
I'm a Lakers fan and I like the hire of Ham I hope the front office allows him to coach and not let Kurt and Phil get in the way of this team.
If they keep Russ then yeah I think it’s time to find a different team
I'm right with you bro
Bro we already talked about this last week why cover this again
It’s up to russ to fix hisself by making sacrifices
So basically what's the point debating Westbrook if yall always both agree that yall don't trust Westbrook on the Lakers? No talk of coaching, no talk of defense? no talk of Anthony Davis? no talk of them letting go Rondo? No talk of them grabbing younger prospects? Cmon stop
The Lakers finally get out of the luol deng situation just to land in a big ol pile of Russ
He always mentions that he came up from the inner city, so in his mind just being in NBA with the money he is earning is something special for him. Idk his life growing up, but after studying about inner city kids and their mentality for a couple months this year, I feel like no one will talk him out of changing his methods since it got him this far. Good luck to Westbrook. All the criticism he got since playing in LA is crazy.
Why is it news for the 50th time that they are keeping Russ when they couldn’t get rid of him even if they tried🤣 come on
