Why showcase him? We have his Early Bird rights and I would love to keep him the next 2-3 seasons.

I wouldn’t say that, by all accounts most are saying that he’s had a great training camp so he deserves to start. |

I wonder why everyone is so afraid to bench him and tell him what his role is.
It's not like we're dealing with prime Michael Jordan or anything. |

Walker looks like he’s going the Kendrick Nunn route: 1. Sign with Klutch 2. Have the Lakers over pay you 3. Sit out the entire season with an injury. |
He looks like he's doing that, huh? |

You really do have the lakersfever during preseason (or before preseason really). I have a little too. Let's see some ball. |

My feel is let's just run with these dudes including Westbrook, see what we have in this new Ham system with Nunn and the stars seemingly healthy, and then just make the decisions from there. Yes, we know what Russ is within Vogel's framework, and we pretty much know what he lacks to 90% level. Let's hammer out that last 10% and let's see if he's marginally or more better with the two stars healthy, and a new coaching system, and tries harder. If it all fails again over the first 8-12 games, we might as well find out sooner than later, be realistic about it, and base trade or other decisions on that knowledge rather than assumption. And if Lebron or AD go down with injury or are off bc of injury, then that's useful info. And if we are healthy and we can't even compete with our brutal early schedule opponents, then that's informative too. Information-gathering, even if to confirm what we already think we learned from last year. But I do want to see all three guys healthy for 20 games to be sure that we are not actually contenders somehow. |

Coach has not coached one minute of one game yet. We don't know what he's going to do. Russ might miss one defensive assignment and find himself on that bench. Let's all calm down until we see what's happening. |

Sheesh. I understand the benefit of adding guys to the list (they’re an Ironman if they play well and they have an excuse if they struggle) but it totally loses meaning when they do it this often. |

Uh..no? If he played well, why would we trade him? Trade the (bleep) players. The trick is to trick the other teams into giving back better players. |

Didn't that dude just say his goal was to play 82 games?
I keep trying to believe that he will one day get healthy again... but already on the list with lower back tightness?
Why is this even made public during a preseason game? |

True statement... let me rephrase.
I don't think Ham will bench Westbrook unless the whole thing turns into a dumpster fire. I don't see it happening. I think a trade is more likely than Westbrook being benched. This is only my opinion though. |

Gambling. Lakers are 5.5 point favorites.

I get this part but why is AD even whining to his trainer about it?
If he doesn't feel good, he should just not play or play for ten minutes and quit... no one would really think much of it at a preseason game.
If he can't even do that, then his 82 game claim was bullsh*t |
