The front office of the Los Angeles Lakers is internally blaming pressure from Klutch Sports for their acquisition of Russell Westbrook during the 2021 offseason, multiple sources tell Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report.
Klutch Sports represents both LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who met with Westbrook and reportedly pushed for the trade.
Westbrook was a bad fit with the Lakers when sharing the floor with James and Davis, while also unable to win games without them as the lead star.
Westbrook has one season remaining on his contract with the Lakers and the franchise will likely need to attach future draft capital to him in order to acquire a useful player in return via trade.
