He can create fast breaks, get to the basket and rebound well for his position. All things the Clippers could theoretically. The trick is getting him to do just that stuff and also keep the horrific turnovers to a minimum.

Is this a difficult concept to grasp? Nobody is mentioning anything about causation. I'm predicting that if the Clippers and Lakers meet up that the Clippers will win a series. The Lakers traded away Russ cause he was the problem and he signs with the team across the hall, would he not get the last laugh in said scenario? Why everyone gotta be so daft and just take the statement for what it is.

Crazy cause PG and Kawhi don’t want to play fast, the clippers are bottom 5 in pace, and this is the direction they decided to go to. After watching him stink it up for the past 3 seasons.

He's now the leader of the Clippers if you think about it.

Getting to the basket and missing or turning the ball over is useless. Better off letting mann cook

That’s where I think there might be an issue, particularly playing with starters. I know the Lakers weren’t great last season or this season prior to the trade but it’s just really hard to imagine him losing all of his bad habits in two weeks. Although any significant adjustment would bolster credibility behind the claims of toxicity in the Lakers locker room and lack of leadership from Bron/Ham IMO.
I would generally have more blind faith but Russ didn’t even get a change of scenery. He’s gonna be living in the same crib, making the same commute, going to the same locker room, just with new coworkers

They said Reggie Jackson was cooked and his signing was pointless.
He won a playoff series for them

is Russ the MVP of this thread? Feel like discussion about him has dominated the season thus far.

Three of those doors ended in the playoffs.
Gee...I wonder why the Lakers door didn't end that way

It'll at least be entertaining.
Russell Westbrook in 2023 isn't winning you a playoff game.

What did we say last year when Russ joined the Lakers? IT WILL NOT WORK. Nobody believed that **** would work. Russ does NOT want to adjust, won't even try to adjust. He's like this is ME. Love it or hate it.
Russ needs a team where he can be ball dominate and he's the key figure, like an OKC or WASH. Problem is, there is not team like that or Russ, or willing to play to his nature. Russ is older and his level of basketball IQ has dropped to the earths core. I'm not sure who brainwashed Clips management or if Jerry is on vacation, but this makes no sense.

He is who he is at this point. Let him come off the bench with 4 capable shooters and try to play as fast as possible.
There's nothing else you can do. He wont adjust because he cant.

Trading for him made the Lakers worse so everyone mocked him while secretly rooting for him on due to chaos he brought to the team for a year and a half. Now that he is gone, everyone wants to see him succeed so they can say “SeE! tHe LaKeRs BrOkE RuSs!” and act like he is the reason why the team who is currently 4th in the conference would beat the Lakers who are 13th. It doesn’t make much sense but that’s just the way it is

They already had Powell and then added Gordon and plumlee. The bench was going to be fine especially if you wanted to stagger the Kawhi/PG minutes
Clippers hustling backwards

They’re acting like Russ was signed for 4 years today or they gave up Buddy Hield for him.

This. ****** making a big deal about this like they just traded 3 important starters for him and he makes $40M or something. THAT would be stupid. Picking him up for nothing is harmless.

Just saw the Clippers first game back is at home vs. the Kings on Friday (LAC is 1GB from them for #3) so that should be a great introductory game for him
