The final proof that Russell Westbrook will play with the Lakers next season

The Lakers name has been in everyone's mind, not the way the LA franchise expected, but all offseason long, the countless rumors of Lakers trades have been making the NBA headlines. The main point of attention has been Russell Westbrook's fate for the next season.

After last season's disastrous outcome, the leading player to take the blame was Russ, and immediately the rumors of the Lakers releasing him started. However, with training camp coming soon, the fate of Westbrook seems to still be up in the air. In addition, there have been reports that HD Darvin Ham has a new and specific role for him.

Even after the acquisition of Patrick Beverley, all media, including NBA analysts, experts, and fans, speculated that both players, Beverley and Westbrook, couldn't share the court. But now, the final proof that Russ is indeed staying and having another chance to redeem himself has arrived. 

LeBron James will be hosting an exclusive "Minicamp," and Russell Westbrook will attend it. James typically hosts a players-only minicamp somewhere on the West Coast before training camp starts, so it is rumored that this year's camp will likely be held in the coming days.
