Russel Westbrook is having an underwhelming season with the Los Angeles Lakers and is recording 27-31. Brodie is not the Triple-Double king as he used to be, and his best days are well past him. he is lucky to stay with the Lakers after the trade deadline, where Rob Pelinka wanted a First-Round pick to be included in the trade regarding Russell Westbrook. Russell Westbrook has been made the scapegoat for the Lakers this season after he has been averaging numbers that are below his usual standards. Russell Westbrook’s entire career is now being judged by everybody from this season and forgetting the wonders he gave us before that.

Russell Westbrook weighted the entire franchise on him when LeBron James and Anthony Davis were out with injuries and other absences for the team. The Former League MVP has been a shadow of what he was in the past years. With the Lakers hoping to get a good position with their remaining games, it is going to be a tough series of fixtures for them, with Anthony Davis injured again, things are not looking good for the Lakers. Again, it falls on the shoulder of Russell Westbrook and LeBron James to see out the remaining games which include teams like LA Clippers, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets, and Phoenix Suns.
