The Los Angeles Lakers sent shockwaves throughout the league when they managed to trade for Russell Westbrook, setting the tone for what ended up becoming a wild free agency period.
Westbrook now joins LeBron James and Anthony Davis in their quest to lead the Purple and Gold back to the mountaintop and claim the storied franchise’s eighteenth championship banner. Today’s NBA is ruled by teams with ample star power and with Westbrook on board, the Lakers have as star-studded a “Big 3” as anyone else in the league.
To make matters even more exciting, Westbrook gets to come home and play in front of his hometown of Los Angeles and has already expressed how excited he is to be back.
