The Los Angeles Lakers might be the most dysfunctional team in the NBA. From their front office to the team, the outpour of negative news cannot stop coming.
But this is what happens when a team is under the microscope. LeBron James was present to witness his young teammates play in the summer league and so was Russell Westbrook.
But the two didn’t sit together, nor did it look like they wanted to. In fact, they were seated on opposite ends of the court. It looked as though James wanted to be a fan for the night. Or is trouble brewing in paradise?
Fans are speculating as to what is going on in LA? Russell Westbrook and LeBron James are seated as far away from each other as possible.
So, what is going on? We don’t know for sure. One thing we know is that Russell Westbrook and LeBron James did not seem to acknowledge each other.
At the time of writing, the game is still in progress, however, there are no signs of the two stars even getting close to each other.
Fans think this is natural. Russell was seen as part of the coaching staff, while LeBron was seen speaking to Rob Pelinka and Darvin Ham.
So, what can we speculate? Well, one thing is sure, there will be a seismic shift in the team. The free agency has just begun and the Kyrie Irving trade rumors have picked up steam.
This behavior from the stars could be an indication of things to come. But don’t look too closely, the next thing you know they are working out together and both have shared it on their social media.
The fickle nature of today’s stars makes it harder to put a pulse on their intentions. Keep an eye on this space for more.
