For that price! Bang for the buck!

Those $44 and $47 mil salaries were earned. Russ was the most productive point guard at the time. All Coach Vogel had to do was be strong and put Russ at his natural position and let him lead The Lakers offense because Bron and AD are more natural and more efficient scorers and Russ has always been a player that will feed his teammates. Russ and James were the top combo guards in the nba until Luka Doncic came along. When he received that huge deal from OKC, he was electric and there was no evidence of a potential decline at the time, he deserved that max extension. Then he proved his value and leadership in Washington with Bradley Beal. To me the season and a half with The Lakers was more of a failure of leadership and imagination from both Frank Vogel and Darvin Ham(both eventually fired by the way) Once Russ was allowed to go back to his natural position as a starting pg with The Los Angeles Clippers, he thrived. We also have the 3 non Murray games in Denver where Russ thrived as the starting point guard. Russ is not really made for a reserve role but he's trying.

@sammyslam1 The Lakers team did not work because the 2 other top paid Lakers players barely paid and when they did they had no chemistry with the team itself, a team that was poorly constructed and filled with minimum contracts. The 4th highest paid player didn't play at all the 1st season Russ was there and when the big 3 were on the court together, their weaknesses showed more than their strengths did, specifically because the team around them sucked defensively. AD stuck at the 5 (better for his offense but without being #1 option is hurting them more than helping) Bron chucking half court shots with plenty of time on the clock and his and Westbrook's inability to play well offball, a bunch of small guards and not enough size. Russ earned his supermax and was forced to buy out early because he actually wants to win and help the team he's on. And he never cheats the game. If he feels good enough to play, he' gonna play and with more energy than anyone I've ever seen. Rlly a dude cut from a different cloth, his personality and his game keep the old era alive. They don't make players like Westbrook anymore.

Russ aint never been washed. He had to clear his mental from the hardship of playing in a system with the lakers that didnt cater to his abilities. This happens to a lot of star players that play with Lebron.

I have always liked Westbrook, thought he was getting treated like trash as a Laker I thought his career would turn around once he became a Nugget and he has done pretty dang good in doing just that I want a Denver Nugget Westbrook Jersey and I would wear it proudly for the star that fell but came back and stepped back up his game from being trashed as a Laker he just didn't fit with the likes of Le'bum Go Nuggets!

@nsmx1 Ай бұрын

If he consistently shoots like this while opponents are underestimating him just because he's not a starter, they'll never know what hit them. Nobody is gonna complain if russ finally wins a championship at this point. The media will have a feast of such a roller coaster story of his career. Would have been better if he got it with the clippers because of the reunion with harden but whatever. I just hope he wins at least one before he retires.

Westbrook is an absolute Max Player. The Lakers just wasted Russ. He is a ball dominant player, but now he can also play off the ball. He can still play hard defense and score more points plus make plays and rebounds everytime.

@kellevelle2695 9 күн бұрын

when he was in Lakers his greatness is disrespected however here in Denver now they really appreciate his greatness especially Jokic who took him from there in fact Westbrook's greatness is not out of the league it's still there waiting for someone to wake it up and only Jokic did that and now their two man game is unstoppable due to they're both have a high level I.Q. who can create plays by their self plus both of them is a great accurate passer that's why they're definitely fit in one team Denver

@@lesliebarber206....thank u! I'm a Lakers fan that continues to attack the idiotic narrative that Russell Westbrook ruined The Lakers. Even while clearly struggling as a #3 option after being either a #1 or #2 his entire nba career and being off ball with no creative plan from the offensive coaching staff(until after the all star break....Vogel did finally wake up and all anyone has to do is look at Russ' last 30 games in 2021/2022) Russ was still giving The Lakers 18/8/8(22/8/8 in the non LeBron games) The fact of the matter is neither Bron or AD could stay on the damn floor in 2021/2022 and the first half of 2022/2023 At salaries of $44 and $47 mil, Russ needed to be The Lakers point guard leading their offense and featuring AD in pick and roll actions. That was the time to lighten the load on Bron and give AD and Russ the green light to lead The Lakers.

@lesliebarber206 Ай бұрын

@sammyslam1 But LeBron and Anthony Davis were out injured when Russell Westbrook got there, they never got to even practice together and when A.D and Bron did come back because they weren't able to build the chemistry on the floor, and when Russell Westbrook got to clippers same thing Kawahi Leonard and PG was out injured, so I'm glad to see Russell Westbrook kinda getting a fair chance!

You have it in you Russ the only thing that I personally my opinion is stop doing a lot of lip talking to the players to the bands stop doing a lot of lip talking let your actions speak if you let your actions speak your shit all of them down your name will come back up I promise just stop all the lip talking you don't they don't need this service they need you to do what you been doing when you was with OKC they need you to be out there passing that ball they need you to be shooting that ball they need you to be ducking that ball that's what they need you to do you don't need to lip service the lip service can come later once you get you a Championship under your belt name but right now you don't need to do nothing but let your action your action on that Court speak for Russell Westbrook
