The Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>\u2019 trash season may have resulted from numerous injuries, specifically to LeBron James<\/a> and Anthony Davis. But perfect health wouldn\u2019t have made too much of a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Would the Lakers have made the NBA Play-In Tournament<\/a>? Possibly, but they still wouldn't have been a top contender in the Western Conference. The players on the roster just didn\u2019t complement each other, and Russell Westbrook<\/a>\u2019s fit with Davis and James was less than pretty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, what does Westbrook think about his time with AD and LeBron this season? He has actually said he would like to see what they could do with health on their side, given that the three only played in 21 games together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, he also somewhat threw them under the bus in his exit interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They didn\u2019t let Russ be Russ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Lakers spent the entire season trying to figure things out with the roster they had. And at many points, LeBron James<\/a> and Anthony Davis said they needed to \u201clet Russ be Russ\u201d so he could reach his full potential in their offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When asked about those comments, though, Westbrook subtly threw his teammates under the bus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYeah, but that wasn\u2019t true,\u201d he said during his exit interview, per the Lakers\u2019 YouTube<\/a>. \u201cSo, let\u2019s be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nRussell Westbrook subtly threw LeBron James and Anthony Davis under the bus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
