The Russell Westbrook advice that has Lakers fans scratching their heads

The Lakers made one of the biggest signings when made Russell Westbrook the highest-paid player on the team, even over LeBron James and Anthony Davis for the 2021-22 season.

One year and a half later, the outcome was a complete failure, but the Lakers have now recovered from that. The fans made Westbrook their number one enemy being critics of his shooting and his lack of commitment to the team.

Westbrook didn't want to make sacrifices, especially for his second season with the team, when coach Ham made him have a coming-off-the-bench role. Russ was only thinking about himself.

Funny enough, Westbrook at a basketball camp is advising on being a team player, something he failed to do with the purple and gold. Westbrook said to the young players: "Do what you need to do for your team, not for your own game." We, the Lakers fans are scratching our heads and wondering why he didn't apply it in LA.

The trade for Russ helped the team make it to the WCF

When Russell Westbrook played the whole season, the team failed to make it to the playoffs, but for the 2022-23 season, once Westbrook was traded, the team made it to the WCF.
