But Westbrook has found new life as the Lakers’ sixth man and it is one of the many reasons the team is much improved from the start of the season. It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! To see them do well, it’s something that just gives me so much joy to see them do well. Hopefully it rubs off on the rest of the guys and we can make something out of it.” But head coach Darvin Ham was able to convince Westbrook to buy into the role and he has responded with his best stretch of play as a Laker.

Identifying the needs of a situation and adapting seems to have worked out well for Westbrook as it did for Wade. I’m glad that he’s got to this point where he sees that it’s not him, that it’s situational and that depending which one he’s in, he knows what role he needs to play” spoke Wade of the Russ situation at LA. When you talk about a player like Russell or myself who’s had the ball, who’s been responsible for 50-plus percent of their team’s points on a nightly basis, when this is who you become, this is who you identify with and this is who everyone expects you to be. And Wade, in an interview with Sports Illustrated, enlightened the world about the mental requirements to make such a career transition. And a move to the Los Angeles Lakers and greater scrutiny made it a public matter of shame. At Cleveland, Wade was reunited with LeBron James and moved into a 6th man role after the starter experiment failed.

Lakers News: As A Reserve, Russell Westbrook Is Making Lakers ... (Sports Illustrated)

The Los Angeles Lakers earned themselves a big W last night after the debacle they experienced on Tuesday night against rival Boston Celtics.

There’s a good chance Westbrook could hit 200 by the end of the season, which would be an almost unbreakable record. Many of Westbrook’s triple-doubles have gone without recognition since it’s a new norm for us. However, last night, Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook accomplished history as he became the first player in Laker history to record a triple-double off the bench.

A popular topic of discussion this season has been Russell Westbrook and how he fits within the Los Angeles Lakers roster. There are reportedly concerns ...

That signing and the drafting of Karlaftis in the first round has aided the rush. “He’s been one of the better players in the league for years, and it’s obviously exciting to get a player of his caliber to San Francisco. When the Chiefs selected Karlaftis in the first round out of Purdue, they knew they were getting a guy who could get into the backfield. The Minnesota Vikings erased a 33-point halftime deficit, stunning Saturday and the Colts, 32-28 in overtime, to complete the largest comeback in the history of the NFL. The David Tepper era as the owner of the Panthers has been a mess. And the Carolina Panthers seem desperate enough to take such a bold step to land the type of coach that could immediately bring Tepper his first winning season as owner. If one NFL insider is to be believed, the Carolina Panthers could look to add one of the top coaches in the sport by using an approach rarely seen in the NFL. Collins was set to make a base salary of $11.5 million in 2022 before being released by the Commanders with a June 1 designation. It was also Gore Jr.'s final run of the night, a cherry on top of a remarkable performance. In order to secure a deal, The Lakers would need to get a solid package in return for Westbrook and any draft capital. The main area of concern is how both Westbrook and James will share the court if the team is placed in the situation to do so during the postseason.
