Russell Westbrook wants the Lakers to trade him.
If that wasn’t obvious before, it’s been made crystal clear by his now-former agent, Thad Foucher, and the statement he gave Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN to explain why he is stepping down as Westbrook’s agent:
In a statement, Foucher said: “I represented Russell Westbrook for 14 years and am proud of our partnership which included a highly successful 2008 draft, a super-max contract and the only renegotiation-and-extend max contract in history. I also supported Russell throughout his rise into a prominent fashion industry figure and recently orchestrated three successive trades on Russell’s behalf — culminating with the trade to his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.
