This is the information of the week in the NBA microcosm: Patrick Beverley arrives in Los Angeles, with a great chance of taking the place of Russell Westbrook. The latter, usually quite discreet, decided to react on social networks, which ignited the web.
The career of Russell Westbrook may have just taken a turning point this Thursday… Indeed, when he seemed destined to stay in Los Angeles for one more season, the fault at the end of the Kevin Durant / Kyrie Irving soap opera, the former MVP comes to be touched by unexpected news: Rob Pelinka has decided to bring Patrick Beverley to the City of Angels, probably to take up the starting position in Darvin Ham’s 5.
Faced with this reversal of the situation that no one had seen coming, two paths are available to Mr. Triple-Double… The first should lead him to the bench, since his defensive shortcomings should no longer allow him to play a major role in this workforce who dreams of fighting for a title, while the second could send him to Indiana, sincea new XXL trade is mentioned for the Lakers.

Moreover, faced with this delicate situation for such a great player, LeBron James decided to send him a big message on social networks, just to cheer him up and give him confidence, in case he stayed. But if we trust the latest Instagram story of Russell Westbrook, all is well in the best of worlds for him, since he appeared all smiles on a great classic of American music.

Unlike his former teammate Kevin Durant, who is always very talkative on social networks, Russell Westbrook rarely speaks on Twitter or Instagram, proof that he has a real message to convey. Is it a way for him to say that everything is fine and that he accepts the arrival of his “enemy”or is he trying to hide a deep malaise, as some Internet users think?
