Russell Westbrook is one of the most controversial players in the league, with some seeing him as a superstar-caliber player who has the ability to lead the team to victory while playing top stats. But many have pointed out that Wei Shao's lazy defense, overly sticky play style and high mistakes are important reasons why he is overrated.
So far this season, Westbrook has received a lot of criticism during his time playing for the Lakers, and fans have pointed out that it is not suitable between Westbrook and James and Davis, which is why the Lakers have not been able to perform well enough so far this season. Especially the pairing between Westbrook and James, the organizational skills of the two really prevented them from building a good enough chemistry.
However, there are still fans who are looking forward to the combination of Westbrook and James, after all, James and Irving only have a record of 20 wins and 20 losses in the first 40 games of the season when James and Irving won the championship in 2016, and james and Westbrook have only 21 wins and 19 losses in the first 40 games so far this season.
So it's entirely possible that Westbrook and James can find a way to find a partner for the rest of the season, after all, Westbrook and James are both very talented players, and they both want to storm the championship trophy, so it is not completely impossible for the two to find a way to build a good enough chemistry.
At present, the Lakers can perform in the 6th place in the West, of course, this is still lower than expected performance, after all, most fans expect this Lakers to be one of the best teams in the league. Having said that, the Lakers have improved in recent times, and perhaps we can also see this Lakers playing better for the rest of the season.
