As the inevitable messy divorce between Russell Westbrook and the Los Angeles Lakers creeps closer, the 33-year-old took to Instagram to scrub any posts that can tie him back to his time with the Houston Rockets, Washington Wizards and Lakers. The only posts that remain for Westbrook that affiliate himself with a team is the Oklahoma City Thunder, where he spent the first 11 seasons of his career at.
Now this could be interpreted in several ways. One of those is that Westbrook just simply wanted to clean up his feed, but the timing of it is too coincidental to not think this was an intentional move by him to initiate the separation between himself and the Lakers. Which leads to the next interpretation that Westbrook did this so that it sends a message to the Lakers that he officially no longer wants to be there.
