The four-time champion said he is hoping for Westbrook to "go off" in the upcoming season. After struggling to adjust to the roster last season, Westbrook is in need of a strong comeback season. He is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, with his poor shooting and turnovers a real cause for concern. As such, James' message, which was in response to a tweet that called for Westbrook not to be disrespected, could do his confidence a world of good. "Can't wait for him to go off this season!!" James wrote. LeBron James@KingJames@CuffsTheLegend Can't wait for him to go off this season!! ?117081184@CuffsTheLegend Can't wait for him to go off this season!! ? Fans took to Twitter to voice their opinions on James' show of support. Most were of the opinion that James' tweet could spell the end of Westbrook's time in LA. "whenever Bron says something good about a player 98% of the time they usually get traded," one fan wrote.

During the 2021-22 NBA season, the LA Lakers looked lethargic and lacked chemistry as doubts grew over Russell Westbrook's role alongside LeBron James. Westbrook is a ball-dominant player, and with LeBron already dominating possession, they struggled to gel. Westbrook's defensive liabilities were on full display as well as the Lakers failed to make the play-in tournament. But with Anthony Davis returning to full fitness, coupled with the addition of Patrick Beverley, LA's defensive concerns should be alleviated next season. If the Lakers are to be a legitimate contender next season, a lot of things need to go their way. The return of Davis and the trade for Beverley are just parts of the puzzle. For starters, Westbrook will need to decrease his turnover ratio and improve his shooting. If he can address these two issues in particular, the Lakers might just stand a chance after all. × Rate this story! Thank You!
