Russell Westbrook Sends Message To Wizards Fans

Yesterday was a crazy day in the NBA. It was draft night, which resulted in a blockbuster trade for the Los Angeles Lakers. NBA insider Shams Charania revealed the Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards agreed to a trade that would send Westbrook to Los Angeles.

After being traded once again, Westbrook took to social media with a message for Wizards fans.

“Thank you DC! You welcomed my family and I with open arms from day one,” Westbrook said in the post. “Everyone from the front office, to the training staff, the coaches, my teammates, and the fans.”

“I’m grateful y’all took a chance on me and supported me every step of the way,” he continued. “I’m blessed to have been a part of such a stand up organization. It didn’t take long to make a home in DC, and I will forever be grateful and appreciative of my experience with the organization. Thank you!”

Now the triple double machine will pair up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Amazing to think a guy who averages a triple double can’t find a permanent home. This is going to go really well, or next year Westbrook will be shipped off to another team.
