No coach, no player, no manager… I don’t know what his problem with me was or I don’t know why… I can’t really give you an answer that we really never connected. As soon as I arrived here, I didn’t have the chance to do what I am capable of doing for a team and a franchise.» With the arrival of Darvin Ham on the bench Lakers, Russell Westbrook could stay and try to redeem themselves in the coming season.
