On the “Dan Patrick Show”, he said:
Russell Westbrook will enter the upcoming season in the final year of his contract with the Lakers. He will be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
Patrick continued:
Watch Dan Patrick’s comments on Russell Westbrook and the Lakers below:
Can Russell Westbrook bounce back?
Westbrook will look to bounce back after a tough 2021-2022 season. Westbrook mentioned it doesn’t matter to him if the LA Lakers don’t want him.
While Westbrook has had a Hall of Fame career, his resume lacks a NBA championship. His fit with LeBron James remains questionable since both of them need the ball in their hands to be effective.
Westbrook coming off the bench could be a possibility for the Lakers, since it would allow him to play freely while LeBron rests. If he is sharing the floor with LeBron, Westbrook’s focus should be slashing, rather than a spot-up shooter.
