But, having watched them a little (not a lot) and observing what I think is them playing better while he sits, I can say that I think they're better when he's not on the floor. I can easily say that.
Sure, I can also say Mavs are better without Luka and point to the on/off being negative. I´m just so bored about people repeating everything the national media hammers them over the head with for years. A few months ago Lavine was a losing player, Vucevic was a losing player, DeRozan was a losing player, Lonzo was a losing player. Guess if you combine four losing players you get the top seed in the East.
It´s always the same BS about the same players. No team becomes better by simply removing Westbrook from the team, especially not a team like the currently constructed Lakers.
You remove Westbrook from the Lakers what you have left is Malik Monk, Carmelo Anthony, Avery Bradley, Horton-Tucker, Dwight Howard/DeAndre Jordan. 33 year old LeBron couldn´t carry Lonzo, Ingram, Zubac, Bullock, Muscala, Rondo, KCP, Kuzma to the play-offs, but 37 year old LeBron carries this sh*tshow to a 0.500+ record. Jesus.
You can say that they made a mistake trading their depth for Westbrook, but to say they´d be a better team right now by removing Westbrook....eh.
