I don't think he will last a full season with the Lakers if he plays the way he play last season. I know that the blame should not be put on Westbrook's shoulder, but there was a huge expectations from him specially wih how the play with the Wizards the previous season.


If they remain healthy, they will be definitely in the top of the rankings, maybe top 3 or 4. Davis will be their first option. And we would like to see the Lakers with Lebron anchoring fastbreaks or Westbrook doing the assists.

Okay, let's give them a chance, they now have at least one season to prove that they have the potential to improve their chemistry and possibly win a championship. No more excuses for sure, they have to had a good start which is the opposite of what happen last season.

Well, his morale support to the team and its players will still play by a big factor and that's what I can see on this signed contract for him.

Damn, time goes so fast and I've remembered him that I used to watched him with the old roster of Miami. We're that old right now as Haslem also became older.

Good luck to his stay for this probable last contract with Heat.

I can't remember if he also came from the bench when he was at the Wizards. But I would say that it will be a good experiment if Ham will come up with that strategy. Let Davis and Lebron start and if they dominate then good, if not Westbrook coming in late might gave them a good spark and could turn the tide. So a lot has been expected with the new Lakers coach and hopefully a new system will be better this year.

Since 2016, Udonis Haslem has appeared in only 9.7 games per season... with a 7.0 minute average. He has not played a single minute in any of the Miami Heat's playoff games during that span. Miami team loves him as a leader and he's helping younger centers develop for the team. I guess he could carry on like this as long as humanly possible.

He could serve the Heat better if he works as a coaching staff or trainer rather than taking a slot in the roster. They could have given it to a younger player that can contribute to the team in the regular season and the playoffs. I guess after the gets his 20th season with Miami, he can do that role. For now, he'll enjoy his spot on the roster and continue supporting and contributing thru this.

Westbrook was brought into the team because he was supposed to play alongside the most skilled players on the team. However, when any of the three key players are not playing or are injured it is really challenging for the team to perform well. I think using Westbrook as one of the key players again is not looking to be a very bad decision. Maybe they should just give him more time and trust him to deliver a competent performance.


If he is still going to play with this team, I don’t think he necessarily has to play from the bench. He can perform well in my opinion even though he has not done anything major to prove himself so far. But the more logical option seems at the moment to be for him to start from the bench. Because that will probably also reduce their expectations of him. And by doing so he will also be able to perform well. There is no team right now willing to trade, so I suggest they make the absolute most of him.

Yes, sure!
I believe this can be something viable for a certain team, because each one of them has a different way of managing them.

Celtics is a good example, Tatum, Brown are evolving a lot lately and they are getting more competitive this season

By now, Westbrook should already adapt to his new environment because he is not the alpha in the team anymore and he will be more helpful in supporting Lebron and AD. He can still produce good numbers though if he can but he should know his role and its boundaries. Darvin Ham wanted to keep him because he sees something with Westbrook that could be a big use for the team, I hope Westbrook wouldn't let Darvin down for that because if he is still not consistent then I guess it might be too late for his career then.
