Lanky but smooth.Funny that was against Zion’s team.
I wouldn’t mind having Zaire Wade. He’s Dwyane’s kid. He’s 15 and already around 6’4 and dunking with ease.
I sure hope if he's 6-4 he can dunk with ease or something's wrong.Funny that was against Zion’s team.

Any relation to D-Wade? Yes please.
Well I certainly hope DWade claims it because the kid looks like he came outa him.
To be medically correct, the kid comes out of Momma otherwise Wade has some knarly hips.
Well to be politically correct, you don't know Dwade's pronoun.
Yeah, he has the sad puppy eyes, but surprised dad hasn't brought up the kid's release point at all.Well I certainly hope DWade claims it because the kid looks like he came outa him.

Wut?Fwiw if he plays anything like Russell Westbrook I hope he goes somewhere else
And all but averages a triple double. Sign him up, please.Ball hog who takes 40 shots a game
How good are the thunder though?And all but averages a triple double. Sign him up, please.

Hero ball is always questionable.
Who got the better of the Paul George trade so far? Indiana was a laughingstock for what they got in return for George, yet here they sit at 16-11, with Oladipo and Sabonis playing great, while OKC is 12-14.
I'm not going to diminish Westbrook's talent, but guys like him are EXCEPTIONALLY difficult to play with and coach (even Durant had problems, and the only reason they weren't worse is because even Westbrook had to realize how good Durant is).
It's not just a matter of "30/10/10, but his team sucks so they don't win".
Interesting article about guys who've left the Thunder here https://www.theringer.com/nba/2017/12/13/16770062/victor-oladipo-russell-westbrook-okc-effect
think the dude that dosent like Westbrook has to be a a guy that would rather have someone Stockton. A player that plays the "right way".
. Westbrook can be a team killer, he's smug, arrogant, and isn't a team guy.
.
None of this is true. Listen to what his teammates say about him and watch how they all interact.
He's had issues in the league, never got along with Durant, and isn't a team type guy. I'd much rather have someone else.
Did Westbrook take OKC to the playoffs virtually by himself because that's the way it had to be, or because that's the way he wanted it?I think most people laughed at Indiana because they should have done better than that for Paul George, not that they didn't get some solid pieces in return.
The Thunder are probably also worse off because of Melo and trying to incorporate him so far. It's easier to implement role guys than "stars" and so the Pacers have had a smoother transition thus far, and it remains to be seen if what the Thunder added even fits together.
Even with great players, it usually doesn't in one season. LeBron and the Heat struggled. Same with when he went back to the Cavs. And that was in a much easier East with much better historical players.
I don't think less than 30 games with an entirely new dynamic is enough to determine that anything is an indictment of Westbrook. He took them to the playoffs last year virtually by himself. His stats are a product of that usage rate and necessity.
He leads the league in assists.
Westbrook is a team killer. He shoots way to much. When KD is on your team and you shoot more shots than him even though he's won multiple scoring titles theres a problem. Especially bc Westbrooks shot is jacked from long range compared to KD. Also Westbrook isn't the most likable guy. And don't give me " but his teammates say....." His teammates are butt hurt about KD leaving and so is he.think the dude that dosent like Westbrook has to be a a guy that would rather have someone Stockton. A player that plays the "right way".
It just shows his temperament. He had KD ran him off, now RW gets his 40 shots per game and limited wins. Before they were Western Conference title game, then KD leaves and they're 9-16. I wouldn't exactly say Westbrook is doing more with less, great stat line thoughBecause really good players only play on really good teams. I forgot that. You get a like.

His stats are very much a product of usage rate, but the necessity part of it is what will always be questionable. He's the worst shooter on that team, and has been (or close to it) for years now. When the worst shooter on the team takes the most shots, is that because he absolutely has to do all the heavy lifting (thus takes tougher shots), or is it because his ego doesn't allow him to see that maybe he isn't always the best option?
