How Do You Build A Team Around Westbrook?

[Lost Angel]

The same way you built one around AI.

why is this in green

Westbrook
Klay Thompson/Eric Gordon
Otto Porter/Roberson
Robert Covington
Adams / Capela

This is pretty much the answer

[dodongo]

I think you need players who have four main qualities:

-Can defend
-Can shoot threes
-Can run/play fast
-Don't need the ball

Aside from Melo being a terrible shooter/scorer and defender this year... he seemed to have really bogged down the Thunder's pace with the way he plays.

Then you can add a P&R center.

Maybe would've been good with the Steve Nash (in his place) Suns?

This type of a team would work.

PG: Ricky Rubio
SG: Russell Westbrook
SF: Joe Ingles
PF: Derrick Favors
C: Rudy Gobert

Basically, Westbrook plays the MItchell role on the Utah Jazz. He gets to adjust in the Utah system and the ball is mostly out of his hand. You are essentially saving Westbrook from himself in this scenario and I think it will work well.

He should be the 2nd option

To be fair, if he said he was going to "shut that **** off" about the jazz whilst he was on their team, I'd actually believe him.
