In great difficulty with the Lakers, Russell Westbrook completely changed status. The 33-year-old playmaker is no longer unanimous and has therefore been pushed to the bench. Moreover, the Californian franchise made a big decision after the preseason about Russell Westbrook. And it concerns LeBron James.
On arriving at the Lakers in 2021, Russell Westbrook expected to live a much better story alongside LeBron James et Anthony Davis. But in the end, the 33-year-old playmaker never lived up to the expectations placed on him and very quickly found himself in the crosshairs of the supporters. Russell Westbrook is regularly announced on departure. And the Lakers ended up deciding on it.
The Lakers have decided between Westbrook and LeBron James
According to information from The Athleticthem Lakers would have evaluated many options regarding Russell Westbrook during training camp and during the pre-season. And the Californian franchise ended up concluding that it was necessary to separate the 33-year-old playmaker as much as possible and LeBron James. The front office had already considered this eventuality last season but Frank Vogel was rather reluctant because he was not sure that Russell Westbrook agrees to come off the bench.
