Playing Anthony Davis at center and bringing Russell Westbrook off the bench is what Darvin Ham is doing. It took 1:14 for it to happen.
According to sources, the Los Angeles Lakers will bring Russell Westbrook off the bench for their final preseason game, a move that could be a sign of things to come.
Sources said the two discussed it again Thursday ahead of Friday's road game against the Kings, and that they discussed the possibility of him serving as a sixth man throughout the off-season.
The Lakers want to give Westbrook a chance to play both faster and freer with the ball in his hands leading the second unit, something that may be similar to the way Rajon Rondo was allowed to play.
Through the start of the regular season and the trade deadline in February, the subject of numerous trade discussions will be Oklahoma City's All-Star point guard, Russell Westbrook. Coming off the bench for the first 17 games of his NBA career, Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook has started 1,004 of his 1,020 career NBA games.
This would be the Lakers' sixth different lineup in as many preseason games.
There are different combinations of seeing different men play. You have to be prepared." There's going to be injuries and you need to get out of the way. We do not want them to occur. We don't want them to happen to our men. When that day comes, you have to prepare yourself by plugging in different lineups, different players and different positions so that you feel prepared.
