Skip Bayless is saying Skip type things again.

Which means he’s done his job well, especially if he can get an athlete to respond. Patrick Beverley’s addition to the Los Angeles Lakers has led to plenty of fodder for the Sports World’s talking heads, which already have been talking about Russell Westbrook for what feels like years. Russ and Pat play the same position and will have to figure out how to co-exist. What makes matters even more intriguing is their highly-publicized beef. The two seem to be fixing their relationship but not everyone is convinced it will go smoothly.

Skip Bayless, who recently took to Twitter with quite a bit of skepticism. Bayless believes Pat Bev will work very hard, but it will ultimately be Russ who brings the vibe down.

“PatBev will do everything in his professional power to make it work with Russ,” Skip wrote. “But – despite the show Westbrook put on today as PatBev was introduced to the media – he will once again PB’s worst enemy if PB starts taking Russ’ minutes. Russ is about Russ, not winning.”

Not surprisingly Patrick Beverley completely disagrees with Skip’s take, and he made that feeling be known on social media, saying “Naw Skip I have a good feeling about this.”

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to be a very interesting team this season, although it could also be a train wreck you can’t stop looking at.

Beverley is a vocal player, and if Russ and him start beefing, things in Los Angeles could go nuclear.
