LeBron James has seen enough, has no interest in another year with Russell Westbrook as teammate?

Dave McMenamin: It’s pretty darn clear that Lebron James has seen enough and he has no interest in going another year with Russell Westbrook as his teammate.

The Lakers worked hard last month to make it seem as though Year 2 with Russell Westbrook could actually happen. But the last two weeks have dramatically undermined that posturing: ocregister.com/2022/07/19/lak… – 5:21 PM Dwight Jaynes @dwightjaynes

James Boyd: #Pacers center Myles Turner shares his all-time starting five: — Michael Jordan — LeBron James — Shaquille O’Neal — Magic Johnson — Larry Bird Who would be your all-time starting five? 🎥 via @WhistleSports pic.twitter.com/bpRfYAdi4l -via Twitter @RomeovilleKid / July 22, 2022 Mark Medina: Amid the excitement over LeBron James’ appearance in the Drew League last week, the NBA will stream select Drew League games starting tomorrow pic.twitter.com/bUgdI96xwt -via Twitter @MarkG_Medina / July 22, 2022 A company co-founded by Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James that bills itself as an “athlete empowerment brand” has filed to trademark the phrase “Shut Up and Dribble.” According to the United States Trademark and Patent Office, the company Uninterrupted, Inc. filed the request earlier this week. -via USA Today Sports / July 22, 2022 Bob Kravitz: Per source, the Lakers-Pacers trade involving Russell Westbrook, Myles Turner, Buddy Hield and other assets is currently dead. That’s not to say the Lakers can’t come back and add a second first-round pick to the current package of picks, but for now, things are at a standstill. -via Twitter / July 22, 2022 Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson: Russell Westbrook coming off the bench with the Dallas Mavs would make sense IF he were bought out by the Los Angeles Lakers but it “would ultimately be Jason Kidd’s call” a highly respected league fixture tells @BallySports by phone. -via Twitter / July 22, 2022 Darvin Ham: We’ve all had years where we could have done better, had better performances or circumstances didn’t quite go our way. And I think just everyone knows what type of year the Lakers went through last year. And it wasn’t all Russell Westbrook’s fault. When you go back and look at the games missed by LeBron James at different segments add a different set. Those three (Westbrook, James and Anthony Davis) only got to play a total of 22 games together. You’re talking about an 82-game season. And so just the different various energy injuries with people within the lineup that were dependent upon within the rotation. Russ having to carry a load and you’re trying to go sign, G League guys, you got COVID, people being put in the protocol because of the COVID. So for all of this to be heaped on Russ, it’s kind of unfair, in a sense and unfair reality, to be quite honest. -via The Ringer / July 21, 2022
