Plan A: acquire a super friends guard to play here cheaply for a short 1-2 period, sort of a Rondo 2.0. Espeically if someone like Derozan comes here for the MLE money. A Rubio or George Hill type might be the target.
Plan B: Sign and trade DS
Plan C: Re-sign Dennis and he remains the starter for now. |
I want Westbrook. |
Of all the available PGs, Westbrook is the absolute worst fit from both an on-court compatibility and financial standpoint. |
The guy is a walking triple double. Some people are put off by his attitude on the court, but dude has that fire to him that we haven't had since Kobe. |
All the intensity in the world doesn't make up for the fact he's a bad basketball fit. He's an extremely ball dominant PG that adds little to no value off ball. He's a shaky decision maker at best, especially in crunch time. And his contract is ghastly!! |
I see your point, but I think people forget just how much we struggled to score towards the end of the season. |
You mean the games when Kuzma was our primary playmaker because everyone else was out? |

if you put the best NBA execs in a warp machine and transplanted them in Pelinka's position as heading the Lakers, I have no doubt that not a single one of them chooses KCP+Kuz+Trez for Westbrook over Kuz+Trez for Hield with option to still resign Dennis _________________ (bleep) Kawhi |

That's your opinion.
You can't get a player of Westbrook's caliber or talent level for that package and Hield isn't even in the same stratosphere.
Lot easier to find a shooter than an elite scorer/rebounder/passer at the PG position.
90% of GMs draft Best Player Available for a reason. Same reason they'd choose Westbrook over Hield. _________________ Build around team players, not ISO players. |
