Westbrook's option, red light or green light
Russel Westbrook and LA Lakers seem to be having a hard time playing as a team. With Lebron on the sidelines due to ankle soreness, LA's offense was mere dependent on Anthony Davis and Russel Westbrook.
A triple double tazmanian devil, Westbrook is a scoring machine. Yet, his personal stats never brought his former teams to the limelight. Now with LA, and Lebron on the sidelines, letting the tazmanian devil do his stuff, brought havoc...not to the opposing team, but to the Lakers team.
Lakers fans are clamoring to let go of Westbrook even this early in the season. Well this should not sit well with Lakers Management after a hefty USD 41 million contract was signed with the nine time all star during off season.
Westbrook, nine time all star is a rare talent. Lakers management at this onset, certainly would be too reactive if they are considering trade moves this early. The best thing that they can do is to let Russel start off the bench. Well this seems to be a good idea, though Im not sure how much of a lead LA would put in place before Russ eventually blows it all away =)
As fans, we are only hoping for the best of Lakers. Whether Ruas comes off the bench or not; with the championship experience of Lakers, for sure in a month or so they will figure it out.
For now, lets enjoy the journey!
