    The worst trade in NBA history has magnified itself this season. Unfortunately the only person on the planet that doesn't know Russ can no longer play is our coach. It is unfathomable to me that Ham flushed his reputation for Russ.

    I don’t think he’s done that yet and like Vogel did with Russ (in spite of what Russ said in his exit interview about him) I think Darvin has done too as sirron said below in another thread.


    But with his attitude surfacing so soon and if true he was even worse on the bench about his discontent …. now we’re probably going to see how it will be handled.

    Yes, this won't last for long for sure. Westbrook will blame everyone but himself for his performances, but secretly just feel he's in the wrong place to get the most out of his abilities.

    Either he's ok with being a sixth man or send him home: the status quo can't last and it doesn't matter who the coach is - he's not a good fit for this team

    pretty annoying we haven't even tried him as a sixth man in any real sense. 25mpg of him getting to be him like he wants. it could save his career, tbh.

    He doesn't want to come off the bench and he wants to ball in his hands. That being said we shouldn't let him dictate the roster rotation, but since he will pout and as a result, play worse than he already is (hard to imagine, but it can get worse) we should SEND HIM HOME.

    lol, on cue.

    let's see how the team responds. feel like lebron and AD need to deliver a win against denver if they want to make a point.

    I’ll be rooting for this win if he doesn’t play harder than I’ve rooted for any win since game 6 of the 2020 Finals. This is our finals, the prove Russ needs to stay away from the team finals.

    And the sad part is WB was finally trying and actually playing pretty good defense to this point.

    Unreal how horrific the Lakers offseason moves have turned out: Caruso and Kuzma were a combined +50 in +/- in their respective last games.

    A team exploded a championship core to get a player that they literally wrote the book on how to defend

    Please win tomorrow. It'll be good for the "bench/send home WB" movement.
