Bayless recently took to Twitter to express his thoughts on Beverley and Westbrook co-existing on the court. The Fox Sports analyst believes 'Pat Bev' will do everything needed to work things out, but the same cannot be said about Westbrook. He indicated that Russ could have issues with Beverley taking up his minutes on the court and tweeted: "PatBev will do everything in his professional power to make it work with Russ. But - despite the show Westbrook put on today as PatBev was introduced to the media - he will once again PB's worst enemy if PB starts taking Russ' minutes. Russ is about Russ, not winning."

But - despite the show Westbrook put on today as PatBev was introduced to the media - he will once again PB's worst enemy if PB starts taking Russ' minutes. Russ is about Russ, not winning. Patrick Beverley defended Russell Westbrook and responded to Bayless by saying: "Naw Skip I have a good feeling about this." Beverley seems highly motivated to play alongside the LA Lakers superstar trio of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Westbrook. Concerns have been raised over his equation with Westbrook. However, the two presented a united front during Beverley's introductory press conference as a Lakers player.

He was spotted dapping up Patrick Beverley and even tossed a towel to the former LA Clippers guard. The LA Lakers' social media pages also posted a picture of the two rivals enjoying each other's company during a practice session, sending fans into a frenzy.

The two have had a tense equation as opponents in the past. It dates back to when Beverley was with the Houston Rockets and Westbrook was with the Oklahoma City Thunder. However, if the viral videos from Beverley's press conference are anything to go by, they seem to have put their differences aside. While that is good news for the Lakers, his fit on the court alongside Beverley remains questionable. NBACentral@TheNBACentralPat Bev and Russ13784904Pat Bev and Russ https://t.co/iSC5eZukvd Westbrook has been one of the worst shooters from long distance over the last few years. Patrick Beverley is coming off a career-worst 3-point shooting season. He made just 34.3% of his shots from deep last season, three percent less than he has averaged throughout his career. Meanwhile, the rest of the players aren't as efficient from beyond the arc either. Anthony Davis has struggled from deep and made only 18.6% of his shots from the arc last season. His 3-point shooting has regressed over the last two seasons. LeBron James, meanwhile, is an average 3-point shooter. He converted 34.5% of his shots from deep on a whopping eight attempts per contest last season.

The roster has been given is evidently not as well-rounded, making it an uphill task for him to lead this team to a deep playoff push. Nevertheless, if the team's stars make the sacrifices needed for things to work, the Lakers could do better than many expect them to in the upcoming season.
