Russell Westbrook & LeBron James

There are a ton of questions surrounding this Lakers roster.

Now that the Los Angeles Lakers are done for the season, there are a lot of rumors surrounding what this team is going to do in the offseason. The team needs to retool this entire roster, especially as it pertains to Russell Westbrook, who was a failed experiment in Los Angeles. Fans thought Russ would be the perfect fit, but instead, he was a disaster of epic proportions.

Last night, the Lakers played their last game of the season, which means the front office is going to have to kick their efforts into high gear. They have a lot of work to do, and Westbrook is certainly going to be on their priority list once they are allowed to make trades and construct deals with other teams.
