With the two stars engaging in fairly positive interactions, NBA fans had to respond on Twitter. The LA Lakers made a bold acquisition by trading for Patrick Beverley. While the addition improves the team's defense, it could also lead to some locker room turmoil. Westbrook and Beverley's combative relationship led to speculation that Westbrook's tenure as a Laker would end. However, coach Darvin Ham seemed determined to have the pair work things out and play together. Jovan Buha@jovanbuhaDarvin Ham says Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley will work together “fabulously.” He thinks they complement each other well and wouldn’t want to be an opposing backcourt facing them.66368Darvin Ham says Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley will work together “fabulously.” He thinks they complement each other well and wouldn’t want to be an opposing backcourt facing them. The idea of Westbrook and Beverley working things out themselves raised several doubts for Laker fans. However, the interaction between the two at the introductory presser yesterday showed promise for positive development. Ohm Youngmisuk@NotoriousOHMRussell Westbrook didn’t just watch Patrick Beverley’s press conference from the side. He made sure Pat Bev looked good, tossing him a towel to wipe his sweat from working out. Pat Bev: “First dime of the year.” Russ laughed. The Lakers point guards on the same page so far.8719855Russell Westbrook didn’t just watch Patrick Beverley’s press conference from the side.

While the optics suggest a positive development, some still believe that the two can't coexist. Whether this will hurt the Lakers' future is yet to be seen. However, the roster may still see changes as trade talks for Westbrook continue. Russell Westbrook to attend LeBron James mini camp Russell Westbrook celebrates a play Russell Westbrook has been a central figure in all LA Lakers trade talks. Although early offseason rumors suggested that the Lakers would move the superstar before the season started, the current scenario says otherwise. Westbrook's trade situation drastically changed after Patrick Beverley's addition to the Lakers. Many believed that Beverley's arrival signaled Westbrook's departure, but this may not be the case. With Donovan Mitchell also being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers, an avenue for a three-team trade has likely been shut down. However, Ham has displayed his faith in the superstar time and time again. Westbrook finds himself with an opportunity to prove that he can still contribute to a winning team. Westbrook will also reportedly be a part of LeBron James' annual mini camp ahead of the official training camp. This news is relevant because teams often consider training camp an informal preseason trade deadline.Kurt Helin@basketballtalkWestbrook reportedly to attend LeBron-run preseason mini-camp, be with Lakers to open camp nba.nbcsports.com/2022/09/05/wes…113Westbrook reportedly to attend LeBron-run preseason mini-camp, be with Lakers to open camp nba.nbcsports.com/2022/09/05/wes… Attempting to establish a solid roster, Westbrook will likely participate in the chemistry-building exercise.
