On April 26, Beijing time, Los Angeles Lakers star Russell Westbrook recently deleted a series of photos of himself on social media, including deleting all photos of himself wearing Rockets, Wizards, and Lakers jerseys, leaving only pictures of the Thunder period.
Since this season, Westbrook has experienced a very unpleasant Lakers season, not only often having to bear the burden of losing the game, but also often being questioned by the team.
Since the beginning of this season, Westbrook has played in 78 games, averaging 34.3 minutes per game, averaging 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists, shooting 44.5% from the field, 29.8% from three-point range and 66.7% from the free throw line.
According to previous reports, the Lakers and team reporters said that in the offseason, the Lakers will send Wei Shao away. Meanwhile, Westbrook is still seen as a negative asset by most teams, but some teams may be willing to eat Westbrook's contract and then lay it out for a year in the hope of freeing up salary space in the next three years.
In fact, such an operation is very beneficial to the Thunder who is rebuilding, and the Thunder has also shouted that Wei Shao welcomes him back. In the offseason of the season, Major West will have player options, and if he executes player options, the salary next season will reach $49 million.
Therefore, in order to be able to get rid of Wei Shao's big contract, perhaps the Lakers will still trade it. Judging from Wei Shao's current moves, is it really the old owner who is incense, and the thunder will usher in Wei Shao's return?
