    How can we laud Westbrook’s energy when he doesn’t play D? With his athleticism, how is he not a great defender?
    RW has never played winning bball. His stubborn refusal to acquire situational awareness — and to become a better defender and shooter. This is his own fault. Everyone “loves” RW, but teams can’t get away from him fast enough for the last 7-9 years.

    i think that comes naturally when you have a guy in your lockerroom who makes more money than anyone else in your team and doesnt performe like he should or hoped he would.

    everyone making excuses for russell. let's just see if he helps the next team win more than he could with the lakers. that's all we need to see and learn.

    The Lakers got 4 Timberwolves from last year 😭😭 if LA wins the championship they better shoutout Minnesota

    The NBA is so shady, so many big teams somehow get the players they want in trades make me think is their money going down under the table

    Y’all don’t understand the power y’all words have in these situations. Speaking negatively knowing you have so many ears listening is negligence. Especially when Westbrook has been performing & giving his all off of the bench. He has plenty left in the tank. Y’all just don’t want him to

    I feel so sorry for Russell Westbrook if anything he should’ve won at least 1 championship. Now that KD is in Phoenix and Westbrook being traded I can’t see LeBron winning any more championships either.

    Russ went to a better team. He will probably make the playoffs or at least the play in. I hope they face the Lakers.
