Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley have had beef for a couple of years now, which prompted many fans to troll them and the Los Angeles Lakers for trying to make this partnership work. Westbrook has been linked with a move away from the Lakers since last season, and this summer, things have only gotten worse.
Meanwhile, with the arrival of Patrick Beverley, many fans think Russ’ time in Los Angeles is coming to an end, but some within the organization want him to succeed and prove doubters wrong.
Despite all the rumors involving them, LeBron James has seemingly ended the buzz of him and Westbrook being on bad terms. This was visible during the 2022 NBA Summer League, but it seems like the King has moved on from that (if it was actually true) and wants to see Russ doing his thing.
LeBron recently talked about Westbrook on social media, saying he’s ready to see him go off and dominate the competition.
“Can’t wait for him to go off this season!! “
If that wasn’t enough, Beverley appears to join this and bury the hatchet. The veteran point guard replied to Bron’s tweet and agreed with him, showing his support to Westbrook too.

“Same it’s on ,” Beverley quoted-tweeted.
This is a good signal for the Lakers, who have struggled with chemistry issues in the past season. Adding somebody like Beverley, who isn’t on the best terms with Westbrook, would be a huge problem. Fortunately, the player is ready to move on and start a new chapter in his career.
We still have to sit and wait to see if this move works out for them. As usual, however, people within the organization are hopeful that the addition of Beverley can help them improve their level.
