Initially I would've preferred to see Lowry - but given that they just had to give up Kuz (non-factor in playoffs), Trez (barely even played), and KCP (nice rotational player but you deal him for a talent like Westbrook) --- I like the move.

X-factor: Westbrook's hunger for a title matched w/ the fact that he *always* plays well against KD and any team/player who he feels burned him. He played with fire as a Wiz against Brooklyn - and they were actually competitive because of it. Lakers need that third guy who can absorb the heavy mileage if AD is injured/off and Bron can't go herculean because of his age. Westbrook can manage the team in any situation to keep them afloat when/if Bron/AD are on minutes restrictions.

Lakers aren't done maneuvering either. They're going to prioritize surrounding this trio w/ shooters. It'll be a lot of fun to watch.
