This season, the odd man out for the Los Angeles Lakers seemed to be Russell Westbrook.
The nine-time NBA All-Star and 2017 MVP played well at times, but overall, he was inconsistent, which led to him being made the scapegoat for the most disappointing season in franchise history.
There were also reports that Westbrook wasn’t receptive to the team’s coaching staff, whether it was head coach Frank Vogel or his assistants.
