New coach, different style, let's see if the Lakers system will be more effective under him. It would be a big accomplishment of the coach if he could make Westbrook better because last season was probably the worst season of Russell Westbrook after winning an MVP award.

Even if they fail to trade him, do you think Lebron and Westbrook will still have good chemistry after they throw Westbrook under the bus?
Darvin Ham has been vocal that he's been trying to keep Westbrook even if LBJ is trying to pressure the management to have Irving on the Lakers and let Westbrook go, now that's up to the management if they can offer something to the Nets because I bet offering Westbrook wouldn't suffice to get Irving.
Also, Irving's camp has also said that Kyrie Irving is looking to wear the same jersey this coming season even if KD will be traded somewhere.
