Kurt Helin @basketballtalkIs Beverley signing with Lakers a sign Westbrook will be off the roster? nba.nbcsports.com/2022/08/26/is-… – 7:54 AM
Bill Ingram @TheRocketGuyI keep reading speculation that the Lakers’ acquisition of @Patrick Beverley means Russell Westbrook is gone. I have great respect for Bev and everything he went through to get to the #NBA, but he’s not HOF like Westbrook. That’s just crazy talk. – 6:52 AM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWobwhat does a defense look like guarding a Pat Bev/Westbrook back court? – 1:31 PM
Rylan Stiles @Rylan_StilesSam Presti said “there’s something positive that’ll come from this…when we had the injury with Westbrook against the Rockets we went to two conference finals after that…If you’re going to be in the NBA, this is a business with a lot of chaos.” – 10:58 AM

Tas Melas @TasMelasWinners from Lakers-Jazz trade:
1) Lakers: Beverley will help.
2) Jazz: Horton-Tucker is a good get for Bev.
3) Us: Westbrook and Beverley together! – 8:02 AM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBAPatrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook on the same team (maybe???) is pretty funny, given their history. – 6:28 AM
More on this storyline
Beverley’s arrival makes it more likely that Westbrook will be off the active roster by the start of training camp, either through a trade or the team sending him home a la the Rockets with John Wall last season, according to a source close to the situation. -via The Athletic / August 25, 2022 Either way, this isn’t the Lakers’ final roster. Another move is coming at some point. They are unlikely to make another deal right away, but the team is still actively pursuing Westbrook deals and other avenues to improve the roster before training camp, according to league sources. -via The Athletic / August 25, 2022 CuffsTheLegend: the Russell Westbrook disrespect and vitriol is still corny regardless of how you feel about last season. Some people gotta get a life man. LeBron James: Can’t wait for him to go off this season!! -via Twitter @KingJames / August 25, 2022
