湖人总教练Darvin Ham谈到了他对Westbrook的想法
"Russ made an unbelievable sacrifice and complied with my strategy of bringing
him off the bench. As I said before, it wasn't a demotin. It was a
realignment. I thought it would bring more balance to us as a team ,and he
tried to do that every day. He came out and played well and just like any
other player. There were good moments and not so good moments in terms of
getting stuff done on the floor. But make no mistake about it, I have nothing
but the utmost respect for him as a professional and everything he's
accomplished in this league."
Russ付出了难以置信的牺牲，完成了我让他从板凳出发的策略。
就像我先前说的，这不是降级，这是调整。我认为这调整能让我们队伍更加平衡
而他每一天都试着这样做。他来了，就像其他球员好好打球。
在球场上有许多好跟不太好的时光，但不要误会了，对于Russ身为职业球员
以及他在联盟所达成的成就，我非常敬重。
虽然上一赛季被认为是Westbrook表现最糟糕的一季
但他却是湖人阵中出席率最高的球员，只缺席了4场比赛
再加上今年球季只缺席3场
让他成为目前湖人队21-23赛季最稳定出赛的球员
是阵容极度不稳定的湖人队一股活力
