The Lakers lost to the Spurs on the road, and Westbrook had 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists on 5-of-14 shooting, but his turnovers also reached five. With 1 month left in the regular season, Westbrook has yet to find a feel for the Lakers. Rumor has it that the Lakers and Wei Shao have already made a decision, and the two sides will choose to break up this summer.
No one can say clearly whether wei shao delayed the Lakers or the Lakers delayed Wei Shao. As the NBA's all-time triple-double king, Wei Shao was once the most unique superstar in the league. He exudes self-confidence and is revered by fans as "Wei Zhentian"! But in the Lakers, Wei Shao played very badly. Even if James doesn't play, Wei Shao's single-core team can't beat the feeling of the past.
In response to Westbrook's current situation, Ben Stinar tweeted: "If you put Westbrook in the Magic (the team with the worst record in the NBA), I guarantee he can lead the team to the playoffs." Underneath the tweet, Wei Shao's wife, Nina, replied, "Agreed." ”
In fact, after the rookie season, Westbrook led the team to the playoffs for 11 consecutive seasons. Especially during his time with the Wizards last year, Westbrook exploded after the All-Star Game and led the team to the playoffs. Objectively speaking, Westbrook can indeed raise the ceiling of a weak team, but it is indeed difficult for him to lead the Magic into the playoffs.
However, if Westbrook wants to give it a try, the Lakers can trade him to the Magic. The Magic's Cole Anthony, Wagner Jr., Bamba and Fultz are all very good young players.
