Westbrook putting together a patented turnovers > points masterpiece :applause:

[FultzNationRISE]

4 points, 5 turnovers so far. Nearing end of 3rd quarter.

:applause:

Yeah, he's Lebronesque with his turnovers tonight for sure.

[bladefd]

Yeah, he's Lebronesque with his turnovers tonight for sure.

Has LeBron ever had more turnovers than points?

[FultzNationRISE]

He played 37 minutes, finished with 4 points 4 assists, 5 turnovers :roll:

I cant believe Larry Frank let the players talk him into signing this dude. Even if it doesnt matter for the regular season, he is GUARANTEED to screw them in the playoffs. He may have a big game or two as well, but when it's on the line and it matters, Westbrook is 100% guaranteed to torpedo a team's chances.

Similarly I cant believe Pelinka and AD saddled Lebron with this clownshow. Literally cost LeKing two years of wasted effort.

It's unreal that anyone sees big picture value in Russell Westbrook.

[999Guy]

This is all just a testament to how good prime Westbrook was.

Prime Westbrook was so good it earned this dude a 6 year pass, minimum, of completely eating shit on both ends of the floor. And especially in the postseason.

I can't believe anyone wants him starting again. He makes lots of sense as a 6th man

Yet in those 12 days, Russell Westbrook “absolutely” gave serious consideration to remaining with the Jazz. “I would have come in and did whatever they asked me to do,” Westbrook said. “I told them I could be a mentor. Whatever I needed to do to help, I would have done it. Like always I do whatever is best for the team. If that’s to come and sit my ass there in street clothes and make sure I help the young guys, I’ll do that.” (https://www.latimes.com/sports/clippers/story/2023-10-28/russell-westbrook-clippers-utah-jazz-lakers-trade)

Westbrook wanted to join a playoff contender and the rebuilding Jazz could not offer that, nor guaranteed minutes, as they prioritized the development of younger players. Still, the Jazz told Westbrook they would welcome him if he chose to report. “I just wanted to make sure that he knew how much I respect him as a player,” Hardy said. “And that whatever the decision ends up being, that he’s always welcome here with me. I’ve had a lot of respect for him for a long time. I’ve been on staffs in San Antonio in particular where we played Oklahoma City in the playoffs a lot, so I’ve seen Russell up close and personal. You know, his reputation speaks for itself (https://www.latimes.com/sports/clippers/story/2023-10-28/russell-westbrook-clippers-utah-jazz-lakers-trade). “And so as a coach, it was really just about opening the line of communication that if there was anything that he needed from me, any conversations that he wanted to have, any questions he had about the situation here in terms of the team day to day, that I was available.”

Westbrook and The Bum together would have been quite a shit show

He was "good" at some of the quantifiable things, like statistical categories. What a box score wont tell you is how much he mitigated his own strengths by being the biggest bonehead to ever pick up a basketball.

So his overall impact did not match his statistical output. He was never anything close to the most valuable player in the league despite winning the award. People just dont realize it because they arent looking beyond what's immediately visible and quantifiable.

He likes to play this card but he was actually griping constantly in LA, both openly and passive aggressively. Fugazi.
