    Why would we do that? It’s not that I don’t like him but we have great rotational pieces and chemistry. Westbrook is going to take away from the players we have now. We aren’t a great 3 point shooting team, I don’t think we have the shooters that would help him thrive

  5. Jim Celmer

    I like your idea about signing EJ this year. I believe the Pelicans want him long term. And they will have some flexibility in FA next year.

    “What’s the pelicans problem right now?”
    TURNOVERS

    Who leads the league in turnovers?
    Russell Westbrook!

  8. cdchoux

    He's making only 41.7% from the field and 29.6 from 3 point range this season. He's seen his better days, we don't need him.

  9. D Boi

    It baffles me how guys who can’t even sniff his lows on the court have so much negative energy for certain players he’s not a good fit for our team but saying he should play in China is disrespectful 🤦🏽‍♂️

  10. Richey Rich

    I always hated Russ although i dont think he was to blame for LA sucking. NO way should the pels sign him. Hes a piece of trash. Turnover machine and a garbage man of a 3pt shooter

  13. Andrew Goutierez

    If we were to sign him it makes me suspicious that Zion would not return from injury this season. Both have the same play style, so it be like a redundant player.

    You know what… To heck with all you guys. I’ve been here for this franchise since it’s birth in 2002. I’ve been through it all with this team. And with that being said… WHAT GIVES PLL THE RIGHT TO DISRESPECT RUSSELL WESTBROOK LIKE THIS. YES 🙌🏾 HE IS STILL MY FAVORITE PLAYER 90% because of HIS HEART. HE GIVES HIS ALL EVERY PLAY. EVERY TIME.

    All the HORRIBLE decisions our franchise has made… Russell Westbrook is far from the worse. So miss me with the BS. I’d be glad to welcome Russ to New Orleans. ✊🏾💯

    I put this in the comment section a few shows ago and caught some slack for it but I stand by my statement that he would be a good addition to the team. Russ wasn’t necessarily playing bad. Especially not this year. He was playing bad for what he was getting paid! that’s all

  22. Vulture Mode

    Everybody talking about “team chemistry” and turnovers we make. WE’RE NOT WINNING THE WEST EITHER WAY THIS YEAR. We’re losing games we should win. Don’t fall for that mass media narrative that he’s not good anymore. Just wasn’t worth a Top 5 player salary like he was getting paid. That’s simply it.
