The Los Angeles Lakers could be set to make a highly surprising U-turn with their decision to keep their big three together after reports have emerged that the team are hesitant to make a move.
It comes after both Russell Westbrook and Anthony Davis have been used in new roles, and whilst the Lakers are seemingly positive in their direction moving forward - this has not transpired into wins on the court, with the Lakers sitting with the worst record in the NBA (2-9). This record with the likes of LeBron James, Westbrook and Davis on the roster would have been beyond imaginable 18 months ago, but the team has been on a steady decline since Westbrook joined last summer.
A report from Bleacher Report suggests that the Lakers are pleased with Russell Westbrook in his new role, stating that he is 'thriving'. Since being the first-man off the bench, also known as the sixth man, Westbrook has spent less time on the floor with LeBron James, which has allowed him to be used in his best role - ball dominant, driving to the rim whilst spacing the floor with shooters.
