On March 6, 2022, Beijing time, Marc Stein exposed a number of news about the Lakers, one of which is very regrettable, that is, the Lakers once hoped to get Coach Brooks! According to Marc Stein, he was reminded again wednesday night (and not the first time this year) that the Lakers failed to get assistant coach Brooks last year because they didn't bid as well as the Blazers.
Coach Brooks has worked with Westbrook for a long time, both the Thunder and the Wizards are working together, and if the coach who knows Westbrook the most in the league is probably Coach Brooks, he can know very well what kind of role Westbrook is suitable for.
Under the tutelage of Coach Brooks, Westbrook has had great success with both the Thunder and wizards. After arriving at the Lakers, Westbrook has become a negative asset of the team, largely because the Lakers did not have Westbrook's explanation, and Coach Brooks did!
So it is indeed a pity that the Lakers did not get Coach Brooks in the offseason because the bid was not as good as the Blazers, and if Coach Brooks can come to the team, maybe the Lakers will be a different scene. Maybe Westbrook has long been integrated with the team, maybe the Lakers are currently in a stable position in the playoffs, or Anthony Davis will not be injured! Of course, this is only a possibility, after all, Brooks was not able to come to the team!
For the Lakers, westbrook's departure from the team in the offseason seems to be an inevitable thing, and it is likely to be bought out by the Lakers, and the fate of the two sides in just one year is really too much of a failure. I believe that with the efforts of the Lakers, this traditional giant should be able to play in the expected state next season, and Westbrook should also be able to find a more suitable team for him in the offseason!
