Do we seriously expect Kyrie+AD+LBJ be able to play 35+ mins a night for 82 games and be competitive in the playoffs?
Kyrie not playing is still better than Westbrook playing. Westbrook no longer has anything to offer. But Kyrie is still in his prime, is healthy, and the COVID politics are dissipating. It’s an all upside move for the Lakers. They would be giving up practically nothing for him and they’d be in the same boat with the rest of the roster either way.
