Build a Championship Caliber Team ARound Russell Westbrook

[selrahc]

Is it even possible? He is not good enough to be first option, but if you pair him with a better superstar he will take away his shots and try to be number 1.

This is the team I came up with:

PG: Russell Westbrook
SG: Jimmy Butler
SF: LeBron James
PF: Taj Gibson
C: Channing Frye

Sixth Man: Jamal Crawford

I picked LeBron to be paired up with Westbrook, because LeBron likes to defer a lot in the 4th quarter anyway.

Westbrook/Jackson
Sefolosha/Lamb
Durant/Butler
Ibaka/Collison
Adams/Perkins


Did I do it right?

You need a beta as a 2nd option, so Durant souds good

You can build the rest around this

Could work

Westbrook
Klay Thompson
Chandler Parsons
Kevin Love
Roy Hibbert

Coach: Pat Riley

[LoneyROY7]

PG: GOATbrook
SG: Stephenson
SF: George
PF: West
C: Hibbert

3-peat.

You aren't winning a title if the team is built around that retard.

[SilkkTheShocker]

PG: GOATbrook
SG: Stephenson
SF: George
PF: West
C: Hibbert

3-peat.

Delusional.

Westbrook/Davis combo would be SICK.

To "build around" means Westbrook needs to be the best player on the team. I don't see any scenario where a team will be a true contender with Westbrook as their best player. That doesn't mean Westbrook isn't a great player... it means it's very difficult to win a title when your PG is your best player.

if you replace Tony Parker with Russell Westbrook the spurs become 100x better and they are already one of the best teams in the league.

Check my team, that team would win a championship this season.
