Here's Why The Lakers MIGHT Trade Russell Westbrook.. Welcome back to Sporting Central. It’s been a wild ride for Russell Westbrook through his two seasons in Los Angeles. Alternating between homecoming hero to villain to homecoming hero (kind of) once again, Westbrook has hardly had smooth sailing with the Lakers. His latest upswing could hardly have come at a better time. With the situation long, long past the breaking point and Westbrook’s departure feeling inevitable, his change to a sixth man has perhaps saved him from being traded. This is how it should be: Russell Westbrook, racing to the scorer’s table, coming off the bench to carve up a second unit. On Sunday, Westbrook checked into the Lakers’ game against Detroit midway through the first quarter. He found Anthony Davis for a short hook. He blew past the Pistons’ defense for a driving layup. He finished a six-minute stint with six points and four assists, helping L.A. preserve an early lead. #Lakers #RussellWestbrook #NBAcareer Related Videos: Would the Lakers still trade Russell Westbrook? | That's OD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrBdowQNu-U Should the Lakers re-sign Russell Westbrook? | NBA | UNDISPUTED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf3QLMN9gUQ Russell Westbrook has SAVED his career if he continues this play off the bench - Ramona Shelburne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYwOAHRxT-s
