Magic Johnsonidol in NBAopened the game on Russell Westbrook at the Los Angeles Lakers and the best path to follow for both parties in the next season. The current point guard of the franchise is the subject of controversy and rumors related to the permanence in the cast since his disappointing performance in the last regular season.

“Russell has $47 million due next season, so realistically what would you get in a trade? Only bonds that are not wanted by anyone and, moreover, even longer. It is necessary to reflect, therefore, if these athletes can really help the team. Because, honestly, I don’t know if it’s a good decision.”Johnson said, about a possible trade.

CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:

Westbrook was one of the big acquisitions of the NBA’s last offseason and had joined the lakers before the start of the current season. “Brodie” promised to compose a great trio alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis (dubbed by some fans and fans as “360”, in reference to the numbers used by the players), but injuries made the plan impossible and the team did not even qualify for Play-In.

“Everyone needs to think, above all, how to make Russell better. Can we make him, for example, more comfortable here? We have to sort this out, of course. The new coach should take him out to dinner and, more than that, have a frank conversation. How can we be better, anyway? Because if Russell is going to be with us, things need to get better.” added Johnson.
