After an offseason of constant rumors and speculation of a potential Russell Westbrook trade, the Lakers decided to keep the highest-paid player from last year’s roster on the team. One of the final potential suitors to take Westbrook was the Utah Jazz, who likely ended any hope of a deal by trading wing sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanoviu0107 to the Detroit Pistons for Kelly Olynk and Saben Lee.
With media day and preseason fast approaching, the Lakers and Westbrook will need to walk back and reconcile their differences. From the struggles on the court to the exit interview, there were tons of moments that left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.
