For the sickos who like to watch, Wednesday’s @LockedOnLakers pod, YouTube version. Westbrook likely out in DEN. What does it potentially mean tonight and moving forward? Plus, how Troy Brown Jr. can help. @LockedOnNetwork @LockedOnNBAPods

The world is talking about Russell Westbrook, who is doubtful to play tomorrow in Denver. But after Tuesday’s practice, the Lakers talked about their holistic issues that they had to face when going over the film of their Sunday loss to the Blazers: ocregister.com/2022/10/25/lak… – 8:12 PM

In two years, Allen Iverson went from third in the NBA in scoring to out of the league. Russell Westbrook’s decline feels similar. But it’s not all on Russ, not even close: yhoo.it/3DzTF8F – 7:08 PM

The Lakers say that Russell Westbrook is doubtful for Wednesday’s game in Denver because of the same hamstring injury that limited him to five minutes in the preseason finale. – 6:39 PM

With so many older stars facing challenges this season, from the ones still in the league (Westbrook) to those now on the outside, I thought this analysis from John Wall was spot-on. More here, at @TheAthletic

My recent takes @BleacherReport – starting/playing Russell Westbrook isn’t the issue specifically for the Lakers but closing games w/Russ is a problem based on how teams guard him in a half court – a strategy Vogel used when Russ was w/Houston bleacherreport.com/articles/10053… – 4:43 PM

More on this storyline
Shams Charania: Lakers guard Austin Reaves is expected to start in place of Russell Westbrook (out, hamstring) tonight vs. Nuggets, per sources, a lineup change L.A. could keep moving forward as team searches for rotations. -via Twitter @ShamsCharania / October 26, 2022
Adrian Wojnarowski: Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (hamstring) is unlikely to play vs. the Nuggets tonight (ESPN, 10 ET), but remains hopeful of a return vs. the Timberwolves on Friday, sources tell ESPN. -via Twitter @wojespn / October 26, 2022
There might be a stopgap move here or there, a small deal that might not wreck next year’s cap space or a trade of those valued firsts for marginal improvement. It’s not that Pelinka hasn’t searched for the big one now. According to rival executives, the Lakers have pitched two, three and four-team trade packages throughout the summer and fall, grasping at the panacea that brings in two or three difference-makers in one swoop. -via ESPN / October 26, 2022
