The problem is that if he stays with the Lakers, it will only be the best option for him, but not for the team.

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.

Maybe. But I disagree with unmotivated Russ.
He doesn't have a championship yet so he still has that aim to achieve. My take on this is he is looking for a real championship caliber and he just doesn't see it in the Lakers team anymore that's why he fired his agent who is opposing his decision.
There's a big problem though. His salary is succumbing the whole roster which makes it difficult for other teams to create a championship caliber roster.
That's why he is best suited for a team with a broad salary cap like the Lakers. That might be the reason of his agent on why he wants him to stay with them.

Well, Westbrook could stay with the Lakers, but what if the Lakers will decide to trade him? He has no choice but to accept his faith because whether he likes it or not, it's very evident that he is not helping the Lakers achieve their goal to win a championship again.
