“LeBron approved Lakers to trade WESTBRICK” Fans lose their mind as Russell Westbrook’s half-hearted defensive effort shocks King James

LeBron James finally came back for good to help out the Lakers in the 2021-22 season. Having being placed on the side-lines due to sore knee, the purple and gold suffered 4 defeats in 5 games without their charismatic leader. Yet he came back in fine form, to register a 29 points triple double. Moreover a 22-point comeback victory against the New York Knicks at home.

On the same note, the Lakers started in lackluster fashion and Russell Westbrook could once again be witnessed making no-effort on the offensive as well as on the defensive end. From Julius Randle blocking him to RJ Barrett sending him in different directions, Brodie seems to be all over the place for the 2020 NBA Champions. Furthermore, with trade deadline approaching, it seems like King James might have had enough of him already.

Not only was LeBron James upset with the way Russell Westbrook was performing on court, but even the spectators at the Crypto.com Arena decided to boo Brodie when he missed easy layups and shot way-ward shots off the glass. More so, fans even pleaded Westbrook to not shoot anymore as he was air-balling majority of his shots.

As a result of which, Westbrook was benched with the Lakers vs Knicks entering Overtime. Not only did Frank Vogel’s men register a win but did it in comforting fashion with Monk, AD and LeBron James leading the charge.

That being said, with the trade deadline approaching, the Lakers are in dire need to make the most effective change in order to compete for the 2021-22 Championship. But the more important question being, has LeBron and the Lakers have had enough of Westbrick? Or will they want to continue giving him chance after chance after chance? Remains to be seen as the hoop bonanza continues.
