As a Lebron fan, it seems like Westbrook seems like a much better player now compared to when he was a Laker. What happened? What makes him work so much better in the Clippers system?

As I type this though, he had a crucial turnover lol.

    He’s on a team with a better fit for 1/11 the salary. Having 3 max players that are all inconsistent at the 3 is simply not viable in the modern NBA.

    Lebron needs the ball in his hands and spacing. His assists usually cone from kicking it out to shooters or cutters. It was a bad fit for Westbrook because he’s neither. With the Clippers, he gets to do what he does best, which is go full speed, drive and find open guys.

    Cause he has a coach that maximize his talent rather than forcing him to be someone else. A lot of players are like this
