Returning to his hometown team lakers in the form of a big deal for 5 teams in the offseason, Russell Westbrook's personal performance this season is sluggish, and the team's performance is not ideal, making it the target of public criticism. In a recent interview with foreign media, he stressed that he did not regret this decision, and also said that it was worth it to accompany his family nearby.
"Yes, I am very happy now and can often see my children, my parents and other family members. For me, nothing could be more important than that, I can stay home, hug my kids, and take them to class every morning, which brings me joy," Westbrook further said, adding: "Staying in L.A. with my family makes me smile no matter what else."
When asked again if he regretted returning to his hometown to join the Lakers, he also said emphatically: "No, not at all." Like I said, it's far more significant than basketball." At first, it was said that the Lakers were close to a deal with the Kings and wanted to find DeMar DeRozan to return, but Westbrook contacted the Wizards boss to ask for a deal to let the Lakers change plans halfway.
The Associated Press recently reported that former NBA guard Jose Calderon will join the Cavaliers management as a special adviser and will assist Koby Altman, who has just renewed his contract until 2028.
Cardron has 14 years of NBA credentials, briefly played for the Cavaliers in the 2017-2018 season, and retired the following year to serve in the players' union as executive director Michele Roberts.
The Cavaliers uniforms team also lost important members earlier, with Veteran Basketball Director Andrae Patterson poached by the Blazers as acting director Joe Cronin in his first move in a month and a half.
