ERussell Westbrook’s future seems increasingly remote from Los Angeles. At least from the Lakers. The player, who has an option of 47 million dollars for next year to continue in the Californian franchise, is the man pointed out by the fans as the great person in charge of the irregular Los Angeles campaign and now it also seems to be by part of the directors of the equipment.
According to analyst Marc Stein, the Lakers right now consider it “impossible” to extend their relationship with the controversial base, who is also not in the business of continuing to wear the yellow uniform next season. This is confirmed by media such as ESPN or Bleacher Report, which affirm that there is a mutual interest in finding a new team for the NBA MVP in 2017.
Westbrook’s stage in the Lakers is leaving more shadows than lights (18.1 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 34.4 minutes) and his situation has provoked criticism from some of the great legends of the franchise. like Magic Johnson, who has assured that the base will be “the worst transfer in the history of the Lakers if the team does not avoid play in”.
The situation of the Californian base is not much better in the sporting aspect either. Frank Vogel is evaluating the possibility of removing Westbrook, the fourth highest-paid player in the NBA this season, from ownership, and he has acknowledged this to the American press. “But we’re at this point with Russ. Is there any way this is the best option? We’ve talked about it.”
