Trade: [LAL/WSH] Russell Westbrook, 2024 and 2028 2nd for Kyle Kuzma, KCP, Montrezl Harrell, and 22nd OA

[Stylizer1]

yeah absolutely. I think it's safe to say westbrook's "never give up" style is something the Lakers FO prioritized after the way they basically gave up in the playoffs

you got it.

They don't even try to hide it anymore.


from latimes.com:

About two weeks ago, Russell Westbrook went to LeBron James' home and together they and Anthony Davis had a conversation about the All-Star guard joining James and Davis on the Lakers.

They talked about putting their egos aside and playing as one in their quest to bring the Lakers another NBA championship. Westbrook talked about how his only intention was winning and coming back home to Los Angeles to become a champion.

James and Davis talked about the two of them changing positions if that was best for the team — James moving from small forward to power forward and Davis from power forward to center.

Westbrook let James and Davis know he doesn't mind playing off the ball when James initiates the offense, something he did while playing alongside James Harden with the Houston Rockets.
