Because of the system of the Lakers, it was Westbrook who resulted not perform well, people based his previous stats and the current stats with the Lakers and they saw a big drop, so it's normal for them to think that Westbrook is not fit with the Lakers. If it's really the coach that is the problem, then we can assume that Westbrook will be back with great stats this new season.
Pretty much I think that the Lakers is not needing a 2nd super scorer at the moment and because Russell Westbrook is not performing well, he surely will be the eye for the blame in not getting near any championship, and right now the Laker have signed a young 29 years old guard Dennis Schröder, he is now back on the Lakers I think the Lakers have done this because they really needed players on defense and for this, I think Russell Westbrook really needs to think twice and because he is stubborn it is better to just quit his basketball career,
I agree that it shouldn't be the eye only to him but also to the others as well. But as the eye centers on Westbrook, it's because he's a star player and expectations to him are way up the highest than of those other players on the roster of the Lakers.
The coaching staff? I don't think that there's anything to do with it, well if there is then that's very minimal and little to be considered. Otherwise, they really have to rotate and make decisions wisely for this upcoming season in almost everything where they've fell apart.
Yup! I know we can not put all the blame on Russell Westbrook and the other players that are worst performing than him, but we can not compare Russell Westbrook to the young new players of the Lakers because Westbrook has landed on the Lakers despite his age because they surely hoping for Westbrook to perform well and they are expecting great things to happen because he is a superstar and Russell Westbrook not performing well because he is not in his prime anymore given the fact that they are paying him so much but he can not deliver on that amount that he is getting, for me the blame will surely all goes to him,
