Podcast: Is Russell Westbrook a better fit for the Lakers than Dennis Schröder?

Nothing knocks you out of vacationing bliss quite like Harrison Faigen screaming at you about Russell Westbrook. So that’s what I welcomed myself back to the airwaves with on this week’s episode of “The Anthony Irwin” show.

Let’s start with what little we know.

For starters, the Los Angeles Lakers have proven time and time again that they care about talent above all else. In some cases (like getting LeBron James and Anthony Davis), it’s worked out pretty perfectly. It also helps that their talents fit seamlessly but I digress.

In other cases, — we don’t need to name any names, Montrezl Harrell and Andre Drummond — it doesn’t necessarily work and I wind up sitting up late at night wondering what might have been with Damian Jones.
