He has been rumored to be in numerous trade scenarios, and there have been whispers LeBron James wasn’t exactly thrilled with how last season played out.
The Lakers' recent trade for Patrick Beverley only increased speculation Westbrook would not be on the roster come training camp, with bad blood between the two players going back nearly a decade.
