Announced starting months ago, Russell Westbrook is still part of the Lakers squad. For his first speech in weeks, the Brodie also delivered controversial remarks on his trio with LeBron James and Anthony Davis!
Not sure he expected to start training camp under the colors of the Lakers at the start of the offseason. At the end of a delicate first campaign in Los Angeles, Russell Westbrook indeed seemed destined to leave the franchise during the summer. Although his departure may remain relevant, he remains a member of the team for the time being, and therefore tries to be professional, including in his media interventions.
Russell Westbrook still confident on the Lakers Big 3
While the Angelinos will officially resume training on Tuesday, Russ has agreed to speak in the columns ofESPN at the dawn of this meeting. The opportunity for him to talk frankly regarding his funny current situation, but also to deliver their expectations for the coming season. Expectations that still want to be high regarding the Big Three to which he belongs:
“There’s so much optimism on how we can be great, how AD, LeBron, myself — can be unstoppable in my opinion,”
– Russell Westbrook

There is so much optimism regarding our ability to be great. AD, LeBron and I, we can be unstoppable in my opinion.
Despite the pale copies made last year by the trio he forms with LeBron James et Anthony Davis, Westbrook remains confident that they can achieve great things together. A laudable speech, but one that clearly has trouble getting through to Purple & Gold fans:
what optimism????????? with all due respect we’re all waiting for you to be traded

My eyes are bleeding reading this.
After a disappointing first common season, the Big Three of the Lakers would still be able to get along and sign big performances according to Russell Westbrook. While waiting for proof, Angelinos supporters will continue to think the opposite!
