Russ is a terrible fit on any team to be honest - he's really great at certain things, and has one of the greatest seasons ever by an individual (stats-wise) but he simply can't play in a "team". When he was here in OKC, I'd hear constantly how much better he was than KD, OKC got the right end of the deal etc etc and would audibly laugh out loud every time. He's not a guy who can take you to the ship', and I'm pretty convinced that he can't even be a major contributor to a title winning team. At best he could be like a 4th - 6th option on a great team that limits him offensively and hides him defensively in the rotation.Westbrick's impact on the Lakers starting about as expected - still such a weird deal for them to add him as an obviously poor fit with Lebron. I'm starting to wonder if we might not see a Kyrie for Westbrick swap. Kyrie undoubtedly a better fit with the Lakers, and if he can't play with the Nets because of the vax shit, KD and Harden may actually prefer Westbrick. Reuniting the Thunder, and Kyrie with Lebron, would make things pretty interesting.. I'd hate to see it cause it'd make the Lakers substantially better. But maybe KD would say nah, really not sure how he and Harden would view that.
Jordan Poole MIP... can't wait for Klay's return.

He's the fucking worst.
That's the boat I am in! I stopped cheering for them, and won't really pull for them again until he is gone.I think it's funny how many of my hardcore Lakers fan friends kinda hate them temporarily while he's on the team.
What a fucking baby. I cannot stand this guy at all.
