    Bill Plaschke: Lakers need to trade Russell Westbrook now. Enough is enough

    by Bill Plaschke, Los Angeles Times Oct 21, 2022 5 minutes
    Los Angeles, California October 20, 2022- Lakers Russell Westbrook comes out of the game against the Clippers late in the fourth quarter at Crypto Arena in Los Angeles Thursday.

    Enough bricks. Enough glares. Enough pouts. Enough is enough.

    The Lakers need to trade Russell Westbrook now.

    Stop waiting. Stop pondering. Stop posturing. Stop shopping.

    The Lakers need to trade Westbrook before his reckless play and divisive personality cost them whatever chance this otherwise feisty team has at a rewarding season.

    They can surprise. They can entertain. Their new coach Darvin Ham appears capable of building a new culture that can shake up the Crypt and scare a few people. Believe it or not, they could even make the playoffs.

    Yet they can't do any of this while Westbrook and his clanks and his complaining are allowed to create a sort of mud into which this shiny new car's back tires are sinking.

    They can't move forward with him.
