The real question is which big three is less injury prone?
It’s crazy cause of styles of play Russ would be the most injured but nah he the least also with Kd play style u would think he don’t get injured yet he does
@elijah smith you clearly don’t watch basketball
Russell gets hurt but he still plays for better or worse
Bro all of them arent healthy but lakers are the closest to be fully healthy
@Orian Cox hes actually been injured or played injured back go back years
Lakers offense isn’t going to be stagnant after LeBron James goes to the bench I can guarantee you that.
@C S AD at five Lebron at the 4 Russ at point will be the closing lineup.. nobody in the NBA leaves AD open from three whether us fans believe it or not the only player teams dare to shoot is draymond green and Ben Simmons to name a few.. so with AD on the three point line spacing the floor the opposing teams big man will be out the paint and when Lebron has the ball he will pick and role with AD or just iso AD in the post and when the double comes pass it to a slashing Westbrook or lebron… it’s easy to understand at least it should be…
@Yo Go excuses excuses he wasn’t tired when they won that default chip in 2020 y’all bronsexuals is something else
@BRUH nah I understand that would be the most ideal lineup, but AD complains about playing the 5 and he shoots 26% from three lol. I guess I may just be biased against Westbrook’s play style, but we’ll just have to see how it turns out
@Urbain Delva kuzma is not a knockdown shooter like kcp can be so they really lost one shooter
Kuzma was very inconsistent as a shooter, when lebron and A.D was out he didnt show up with scoring. KCP is very underrated he will be missed. Herrel is good but too small and happy to pull him away from the clippers. So we’ll see who they fill the roster with, but for now I see A.D, lebron and Westbrook, lebron takes his rest at the 5min mark, Westbrook does his thing, lebron comes back in. That’s not bad, and lebron is 37 man, he’s gonna call it soon. Westbrook and A.D will still be around if they stay.
I find it hard to believe Perkins played in the league sometimes with his takes.
@Victor Conrad no doubt? U sound stupid
Lol he’s auditioning for his own show buy some of the things he say
@Jules yeah let me stop you right there he was one of the best defenders when he was playing on Boston do your research
He was not very good. He was just a foul machine and a big dude you put in when you need to clog the lane
Perk was an elite defender. Dont doubt his playing career.
They call SAS in like he a active duty soldier
There’s no pressure on Westbrook the pressure is on LeBron James because now the bron James has a bona fide superteam you have LeBron James ad the best big man in the league and now you have Westbrook a dude who averages triple-doubles who are dunk on you who will run up the floor while LeBron is aging
@donjohnswaggert Jordan’s teams were still probably deeper with better role players
@Arkham Knight Faxxxxx😂😂😂😂😂
That’s why they pay him the salary he’s paid the man certainly works for it
@donjohnswaggert they been saying that for the last 5 years.
Russell Westbook knows the Lebron James System very well. The only problem is, he plays the Lebron James in that system.
Not anymore lol
and that’s exactly what lebron wants at this point of his career lol
True.. lmao
everyone acting like this wasn’t an upgrade from schroder
@Dikshak Sharma the only reason that didn’t work was bc of injury’s and steve nash was also really old
A Russell Westbrook vs kd reunion in the finals would be legendary
@SimplyJay0
Then why were the ratings up like 25% across the board compared to the Lakers last year?
@Moe_c63 Delusional. Lakers will probably sign JJ, Melo, Dwight, etc. to the vet min & be unstoppable. 3 stars beats 2
Yes!
You’d have Harden, KD, and Russ back in the finals again
@midwest hook
Colluding players trying to win chips easy..
Yawn..
SAS went from not wanting to hear about Westbrook, because he’s not in contention for a championship. Now that he’s got a real opportunity again, you’re already bashing him. Yall deliberately leave out variables; will LeBron vanish the way PG did on Russ in the playoffs. So long as he’s healthy. Nope.
@Shanado Moss 7 of the 11 playoff games with OKC he shot below 45% and scored 5 points in an elimination game. They lost by 5 points(had he scored his usual amount or career average they win….)
@Jonathan Johnson you’re right won’t deny that, now let’s talk about what happened the following year in the playoffs.
PG averaged 29 while Westbrook averaged 23 on 36% shooting from the field
Had Westbrook not taken as much shots and made better decisions/shot selections than he did then they wouldn’t have lost
Paul George was the one that showed up in 2019 stop making excuses for Westbrook
FG% is the most garbage stat for shooting efficiency. Paul George averaged 29 points on 58 TS% against the Blazers and Westbrook 46 TS% which is like 10% below league average and got cooked by Lillard
“Lebron is willing to take a backseat” – Perkins
“wait, what?” – Lebron
@Martin Q23 dawg I had an aneurism reading that. And that was 2 years ago. Lebron is slowing down and calls for subs more often. Y’all so quick to forget AD can put up 46-15-4 on a good night. That’s why they also got Russ too
@Martin Q23 they have solid core pieces to also trade away if they’d like. Off-season isn’t over.
Lebron will act surprised, but everyone is missing his master plan. He will give Russell his book of best plays, and will sit back and watch his mini me attack
@Xavier L2R2 Lebron was putting up his finals numbers this year too only reason why he slowed down was because of the injury . Just watch Lebron will prove once again he’s the best in the world . AD is the train for the lakers but lebrons the conductor
@Xavier L2R2 and the finals wasn’t even a year ago what are you talking about “2 years ago” NBA fans switch up too much . 2 years ago Durant was on the warriors
“Rob, you the real MVP.” -Lebron James
“Their odds did not change”
That tells you everything about this trade……..
Brooklyn has a four headed monster
Still favored over Milwaukee
One thing about Lebron is when he has help rings come
