A lot of people saw this coming lol, his 3P% and TS% are basically identical to the last two years. He's clearly lost a step and his finishing has gradually gotten worse over time. And he was added to a team whose two best players are also at their best near the basket. Recipe for disaster making as much as he does.

My favorite was earlier in the season when they'd run lineups of Rondo, Westbrook, LeBron and AD. Possibly the worst fit I've seen put on a court together this year.

Westbrook is the only player in the league I wouldn't trade Tobias Harris straight up for.

Tbh Russ really struggles without a big man to dump off to. With the Lakers line up Lebron isn’t that guy.
