The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to be aggressive at the trade deadline looking to add key players to the rotation as the team attempts to become a contender in the West. One player on the trade block is Russell Westbrook, who has come off the bench this season for the first time in his career. In Tuesday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, Westbrook and head coach Darvin Ham reportedly got into it and frustrations almost boiled over.
Voices were raised in locker room, but discussion turned back to trying to win game vs. Thunder, sources said. Ham closed game with Westbrook, who had a season-high 14 points in fourth quarter. Ham and Westbrook dapped up prior to leaving arena later in night. https://t.co/8cch24Sgbq
