Westbrook or Durant? Who can make the Lakers be a powerhouse?

[AirTupac]

Granted, neither will probably come here but in this hypothetical world, which player can be the one to take LALA to the championships / playoffs again?

You can include the possibility of Lakers keeping their pick this season or not.

Some scenerios:

PG- D'Angelo Russell
SG - Russell Westbrook
SF- Simmons
PF - Randle
C - Whiteside

--------------------------------

PG - D'Angelo Russell
SG - Jordan Clarkson
SF - Durant
PF - Randle
C - Whiteside

-------------------------------
PG - D'Angelo Russell
SG - Durant
SF - Simmons
PF - Randle
C - ????

----------------------------
PG - Russell Westbrook
SG - Russell / Clarkson
SF - Harrison Barnes
PF - Randle
C - ???

-------------------------

PG - Westbrook
SG - D'Angelo Russell
SF - Ingram
PF - Randle
C - Whiteside

Coach: Hollins / Thibs / Luke Walton. I pick Luke Walton

Durant is the better player and can carry a shit roster more successfully, so obviously him.

[G-Funk]

Durant, he has leadership qualities that I feel Westbrook lacks.

I'd prefer Durant.

D'angelo
Clarkson
Durant
Simmons
Randle
