Lakers Reportedly Placing Blame on Klutch Sports For Their Failures

When LeBron gets to a new team, he quickly established himself as the Alpha Dog.

When the Lakers acquired Russell Westbrook, some people were ready to call them title favorites, but it’s clear now that the move was a mistake. Now it sounds like the organization is placing blame at Klutch Sports Group for the Westbrook move, as the agency represents both LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Basically they’re the ones who made the play to get Westbrook to L.A.

Via B/R:

“But James certainly has a strong influence on the Lakers’ decision-making,” wrote Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report. “Multiple sources indicate the team’s front office is internally blaming pressure from Klutch Sports Group (representing both James and Davis) for Westbrook.”

The Lakers failed to reach the postseason, and they had more starting lineups than wins.

They were also the oldest team in the league, and in a young man’s sport like basketball, that’s never a good idea.

Someone needs to accept blame for this epic fail of a season.
