Through the years, some legendary teams have been assembled. The ‘Big 3’ in Laker land looked to ride the same boat. However, the story was not meant to be. The trio of LeBron James, Westbrook, and Davis accumulated just 33 wins for the Lakers in the entire season. Their breakup looked inevitable, with all the reports flowing in. But, according to some reports, they have made vows to make it work again.

The purple and gold had major troubles last season. Anthony Davis was once again not fit and Frank Vogel became the scapegoat for their downfall last season. The 2020 NBA champions brought in Russ whose form worryingly deteriorated. Averaging just 18 points per game, the scoring champ didn’t find a home in his birthplace.

Till now, the heart of the fans was with KAI. The Lake show were favorites to sign the Nets guard. However, the seven-time All-Star himself accepted that he might stay with the Nets this season. At the end of the day, Westbrook’s trade value isn’t high anymore. But towards the end of the season, he showed flashes of his true self. Putting up nearly 23 points on an efficient percentage, ‘Brodie’ proved that he still has a lot left in the tank. At the end of the day, the Lakers trio has a lot of work to do.
