I see an unmotivated Russ so yes it's bad for the team but it's also bad for him. He really wants to be out that's why he fired his agent who suggested he stays. Westbrook is not some no name and newbie anymore. I think he is already at a point where he cares more where he can play happily than the money he gets.
Russell Westbrook just needs some push. I don't see him as a hindrance to the Lakers' success. Maybe give him several games to work again on his consistency. Westbrook is still one of the most athletic guards in the NBA today. He also understands that he needs to cooperate with LBJ or AD and last season, he didn't show the behavior that he is the main scorer on the team. He just does his usual Westbrook stuff although the problem is, he is not consistent.
The Lakers have given him one season to improved already and be consistent. But his statistics goes down in the first year and for sure fans will agree that it was a disappointment seeing his performance like that with the Lakers. But in any case that we won't be traded, then obviously, he need to show something, Lebron game is still very high as recently we have seen him in the Drew league and still the same Lebron. So it's time for AD and WB to come up big this season.
