The Lakers' fortunes changed dramatically for the Los Angeles Lakers when the team made a trade with Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a first-round pick for Westbrook in a move which was widely condemned in the moment.

Everyone who was against the trade ended up being correct, as Westbrook was an enormous thorn in team's side last season. Now, the Lakers find themselves in a situation that they'd be better off in the event that they trade Westbrook but may have already thought about it but have given up.

The sad part is that Westbrook seems to believe that he's an elite player. He took very little responsibility for the team's failure in his post-game interview last season. Westbrook has a basketball ego that's very difficult to break. Perhaps the folks in NBA 2K23 can break that illusion of a ego a little bit, but. The ratings for the game are beginning to surface and Westbrook's score isn't that of a star player (which Westbrook claims to be). It is that of an unidirectional bench player.

Russell Westbrook was given an poor 78 rating overall on NBA 2K23.
