Lakers' Russell Westbrook opens up on disconnect with Frank Vogel, disappointing season
'repeated intentions to"let Russ be Russ" in unlocking the best version of the former All-Star were disingenuous.When asked to elaborate, Westbrook said it came down to the pieces being unable to complement one another.
Westbrook, who has a player option for next season worth $47 million, did not have a simple answer when asked if he planned to exercise it."Umm, I'll make the decision," he said."That's why it's called 'player option.'" "Like any player, we'll partner with him after that decision is made about what's best for his future," Pelinka said."Rest assured, we're going to look under every stone for ways to be better and be open to anything that will improve our team and will put us in a position to compete at a higher level next year than we did this year."
