What are fans saying about a Russell Westbrook trade
If Westbrook is not gone by Thursday I’m not watching another Laker game until him, Pelinka and Ham are gone.
I been one of the biggest Westbrook critics through his career and I am actually fully in support of him now. He has humbled himself so much this year. He has adjusted his game, taken a new role on the team off the bench, etc. yes he still makes mistakes but his kindest changed.
One thing can’t NOBODY say about Westbrook is that he’s unprofessional or a bad teammate. No matter what he gone give it 110% every night.
