In addition to their team’s result against the Warriors, this Tuesday, Lakers fans were especially awaiting the joint first steps of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. Asked about the hot topic after the fact, the star leader preferred… to kick in touch.
This scene, the Lakers Nation dreamed of since the beginning of the summer. After long weeks of waiting, Angelinos fans were finally able to see LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook share the floor of the Staples Center this Tuesday. Opposed for the occasion at Golden State, they and their teammates have nevertheless failed to unlock their victory counter in this preseason (99-111).
It was enough for the detractors of the franchise to attack the three stars, and describe their fit as impossible. The main stakeholders, they were much less alarmist at the end of the meeting. Like his two shock partners, the Brodie was initially satisfied with his first steps with them.
“Nobody has an answer for that…we’re going to play and figure it out. We have one goal in mind and that’s to win a championship.” Russell Westbrook on when the #Lakers stars will start to ‘click’. pic.twitter.com/UUBOsZ6zr3

We reviewed things that we were able to do in training, yes. There were some good times, but obviously it was just the first game all together. There are some good things that we are going to be able to learn from it, we are going to have to watch all of this during the video sessions. So that can be encouraging!
All by replying to a few texts, please.
Westbrook leaves suspense over Lakers’ Big 3
Despite this relaxed response to say the least, Russ did not reassure all the journalists present in front of him. One of them was quick to ask when the famous Big Three will be able to run at full speed. Sadly, the 2017 MVP couldn’t help much.
Honestly, I don’t have the answer to that. I know this is the question everyone is asking, but no one has the answer. We’re just going to keep playing, like any team, and we’re going to find. It doesn’t have to be for the first game of the season. We have only one goal in mind, and that is to win a title. There are going to be ups and downs throughout the season, adversity. But as long as we stay on the same page, that’s all that matters.
As versatile as he may be on the pitch, the former Thunder leader does not have clairvoyance skills. Observers will therefore have to wait to get an answer on this point!
Obviously, having the NBA career triple-doubles record does not make it possible to become a diviner. Bad luck for Russell Westbrook, who will have to continue to perfect his agreement with LeBron and AD!
