2 years agoLos Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook could be traded ahead of the 2022-23 season. The team recently acquired Patrick Beverley from Utah, fueling further speculation about Westbrook's future in L.A. However, NBA insider Marc Stein revealed that if the 2017 MVP isn't moved, new head coach Darvin Ham is committed to finding a meaningful role for him. The 33-year-old had a down year last season, averaging 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 1.0 steals. With that said, Westbrook has been a consistent fantasy contributor over the years despite his poor shooting percentages. That shouldn't change, no matter where he suits up this season.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
