In addition to wanting Kyrie Irving to join the Lakers, LeBron also wants to send Russell Westbrook to Brooklyn, far from his family. Given that LeBron was the one along with Anthony Davis, the reason why the two-time MVP is playing for the 17 times NBA champions. James brought Westbrook to the Lakers and is currently trying to get rid of him, and it can be understood why he is upset. Have a look at how they avoided one another at Summer League like the plague.
Russell Westbrook And LeBron James Avoid Each Other At The Lakers Summer League Game
LeBron James naturally didn’t play basketball on Friday night in Las Vegas, but he still commanded the room, and the biggest topic involving a Los Angeles Lakers game was the controversy involving Russell Westbrook.
Jordan Ott’s Lakers lost to the Phoenix Suns 104-84 in their first game in the NBA 2K23 Las Vegas Summer League. However, The King was the centre of attention in the Thomas & Mack Center, along with anyone who had entered his personal area.
Summer League is really slack. NBA players congregate in large numbers in confined locations, including the cosy arena at UNLV. Players, agents, coaches, members of the media, and others are constantly running into one another. Obviously, LeBron James, the most well-known NBA player, who was present to support the young Lakers, fits this description. LeBron chatted with several important league players during the roughly 90 minutes he relaxed courtside.
That was the one individual who didn’t spend any time with James? The second most well-known individual in the space… and his teammate. It can be nothing or it can be something.
In sharp contrast to last summer, the nine-time All-Star and highest-paid Lakers player, who LeBron James may be trying to move and who fired shots at LeBron after the season, sat on the Lakers bench, about 94 feet away from LeBron. Occasionally, Westbrook did take the huddle’s reins.
The Lakers’ season did not really go as expected. Everyone had high expectations of the 2020 NBA Champions. This season, they did not even make it to the NBA Play-In tournament ans not qualifying for the NBA Playoffs really turned ugly for them. Russell Westbrook was expected to be one of the most important players while Davis and LeBron were injured and he was anticipated to contribute but whatever happened was all opposite.
