With the two showing an inclination towards putting aside their problems, Ham voiced his opinion on the duo playing together. Patrick Beverley's arrival at the LA Lakers was greeted with a lot of controversy. While mixed reviews were the norm, a common narrative that emerged stemmed from his ongoing feud with Russell Westbrook. Some reports also suggested that Beverley's arrival marked the end of Westbrook's tenure as a Laker. However, Lakers coach Darvin Ham appeared to be fairly confident of seeing the two teaming up. As trade talks for Westbrook continue, the Purple and Gold have partially committed to the idea of having the duo sharing the court next season. While sharing his expectations from Beverley and his influence on the team at a news conference, Ham said: "I see them working together fabulously. Their games compliment one another. I wouldn't want to be in the backcourt if there was these two guys. "So it's going to be a lovely experience. I'm looking forward to it. I'm thrilled to see them out there together, to see them compete every day against one another the right way in practice." With hopes of seeing competitive juices flow on the floor as well, Ham expects the pair to instill an identity of toughness for the Lakers.

With Darvin Ham displaying immense faith in the superstar's abilities, Beverley could also help Russell Westbrook find a way to be aggressive on the floor.
