Westbrook's agent dumps him with an interesting statement

Whatever happened to we are parting ways, no he has to explain it to him publicly that no team wants to pay him $47 million to shoot up bricks. If any team does trade for you it is to acquire picks and will likely buy you out of your deal.

"I represented Russell Westbrook for 14 years and am proud of our partnership which included a highly successful 2008 draft, a super-max contract and the only renegotiation-and-extend max contract in history. I also supported Russell throughout his rise into a prominent fashion industry figure and recently orchestrated three successive trades on Russell's behalf -- culminating with the trade to his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.
"Each time, teams gave up valuable players and assets to acquire Russell -- and each time, a new organization embraced his arrival. We did it together with grace and class.
"Now, with a possibility of a fourth trade in four years, the marketplace is telling the Lakers they must add additional value with Russell in any trade scenario. And even then, such a trade may require Russell to immediately move on from the new team via buyout.
"My belief is that this type of transaction only serves to diminish Russell's value and his best option is to stay with the Lakers, embrace the starting role and support that Darvin Ham publicly offered. Russell is a first-ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame player and will prove that again before he is retired.
"Unfortunately, irreconcilable differences exist as to his best pathway forward and we are no longer working together. I wish Russell and his family the very best."

Russell wants a trade but his agent thinks it would be bad for him when it comes to extending his career for another 2-3 years.
Russell can't admit that no one wants an aging PG who can't shoot worth a shite. If he's going to showcase that he has enough in the tank to get a few more contracts he's going to have to accept not being the guy and taking 30 shots every game.

Athletes always have difficulty accepting that their skills have declined along with their value to teams.

Very true.
Allen Iverson flat out could not handle being told he had to come off the bench if he wanted to continue and he essentially quit over it.

Westbrook’s trade value just got nuked.
The 22-23 Lakers season is going to be a disaster.

Do you think if Russ went on Undisputed, would he actually try to fight Skip a la Jim Everett/Jim Rome?

This is true among people across the board as well. You can’t fight Mother Nature.

I’m not buying him being a first-ballot. He was pretty damn good for a few years with the Thunder but common.

You can’t call him that, it puts his family in danger according to Westbrick.
