Anthony Davis Says The Lakers’ Big 3 Is Focused On Being Aggressive Offensively: “It’s Going To Open Up The Floor For Everybody Else.”

The Los Angeles Lakers stars want to stay aggressive on offense.

The Los Angeles Lakers Big 3 of LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, and Anthony Davis did not work out as planned last season. The trio did not particularly excel when playing together, and the Los Angeles Lakers went 33-49 while missing the playoffs.

There was a lot of speculation about the Los Angeles Lakers potentially trading point guard Russell Westbrook this summer. After all, he was a poor fit with the team due to his ball-dominant nature. Warriors forward Draymond Green even suggested that if one were to ask Russell Westbrook himself, the point guard would admit that his fit on the Lakers isn’t great.

It’s a terrible fit. I 100 percent think the fit is terrible. I don’t think you could talk to Russell Westbrook right now and Russell Westbrook wouldn’t think the fit is terrible.

However, it seems as though the trio is committed to making things work as of right now, as Russell Westbrook is still on the roster. A recent revelation suggests that they have made progress on how they will fit together in the future.


Anthony Davis Reveals That The Lakers’ Big 3 Is Committed To Being Aggressive On Offense

When speaking after the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent practice, Anthony Davis revealed that the focus for the Los Angeles Lakers Big 3 is being aggressive in making plays offensively, claiming that “it’s going to open up the floor” for everyone else on the team. Dave McMenamin of ESPN relayed the news.

“I think the biggest thing was everybody trying to be selfless and now everybody is being aggressive,” Davis said after practice Saturday at Pechanga Reservation in front of about 200 reservation residents invited as guests. “‘Russ, you get it, go.’ ‘Bron, you get it, go.’ I get it and go. Whoever. And that’s been very helpful for all of us.”

“Obviously we’re unselfish teammates and we want to pass and do things [for our teammates], but at the same time we have to get going as well,” Davis said. “And I think that’s been the biggest change that we wanted to see from us three so far is, whoever gets it, let’s be aggressive because it’s going to open up the floor for everybody else.

“When we’re all trying to be unselfish and share the wealth, the ball kind of ends up getting lost around the perimeter or we’re going up against the shot clock. But when somebody is staying aggressive and Russ is getting downhill, Bron is getting downhill, it opens up the floor. Because they’re aggressive where guys have to help out, they can kick it out to shooters.”

Hopefully, this approach ends up working for the Los Angeles Lakers. It is clear that the plan for the Los Angeles Lakers is to take advantage of their stars’ offensive prowess to force defenses to commit to guarding them heavily, which will in turn create open looks for other players such as Kendrick Nunn and Patrick Beverley.

There is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers have a better team this year, but it remains to be seen if they are able to make it back to the playoffs and potentially make a deep run. Hopefully, a new approach on offense will help the team do better, and perhaps we will see the Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook work out after all.
