Star point guard Russell Westbrook has never been able to make a serious run at a ring during his several stops in the NBA. But that all could be changing.
Prior to the NBA Draft, the news dropped that the Wizards were trading Westbrook to the Los Angeles Lakers, where he’ll be teaming up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Shortly after the trade news was all over social media, TMZ found Russell Westbrook out with comedian Kevin Hart in LA.
Russell Westbrook isn’t getting any younger, and this will be his greatest chance to win a championship. At times, he’s been criticized for his shooting ability, and dominating the possession too much.
In Los Angeles, he’ll have to find a way to make it work with LeBron and AD, when none of them shoot the ball particularly well.
The Lakers might need to add some perimeter shooting before next season. But locking in a guy as talented as Russell Westbrook will likely make them title favorites next season.
