The Los Angeles Lakers were not content with the results of this past season, nor were they willing to sit around and watch other teams improve their rosters. This led to the team pulling off a questionable and bold blockbuster trade for superstar Russell Westbrook.
After two seasons of LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the way, the Lakers have a legitimate third star to help carry the load in Los Angeles. Although the trade has been criticized as some wonder whether the trio will work well together, head coach Frank Vogel gave the move his stamp of approval as he is confident in Westbrook’s ability to take this team to the next level during the 2021-22 campaign.
