A lot changed to the Los Angeles Lakers when the team made a trade with Russell Westbrook last summer Nba 2k23 mt. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a first round pick in exchange for Westbrook in an act which was widely condemned in the moment. Everyone who was against the trade turned out to be right, since Westbrook was one of the biggest problems in the team's side in the last season. The Lakers find themselves in a situation that they'd be better off by trading Westbrook however, they may have abandoned the idea.


The sad thing is that Westbrook seemingly still thinks that his skills are elite. He took very little of the blame for the team's lack of success in his last exit interview of the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball which is extremely difficult to break. Perhaps the folks over at NBA 2K23 can break that illusion of a ego a little bit, though. The ratings for the upcoming game are beginning to surface and Westbrook's score isn't an indication of being a star player (which it is what he believes to be). It is that of an a player who rotates bench.


Russell Westbrook was given an terrible 78-percent rating for the overall rating of NBA 2K23. Russell Westbrook has the fourth-highest 2K23 rating for the Los Angeles Lakers. Westbrook clearly is behind LeBron and Anthony Davis but he is even further behind his most recent colleague as well. The folks at 2K gave Patrick Beverley a 79 overall rating, which is probably suitable for where he's to be in his current career.


Westbrook has, in contrast, tied with Kendrick Nunn. It is barely above the ranks of Thomas Bryant and Lonnie Walker IV. It's a major decline for Westbrook, but it is totally justified. Westbrook fans will be horrified with this score and refer to Westbrook's box score to explain why his rating should be in the mid-to-high 80s. Anyone who has actually watched Lakers Basketball last season will know how misleading the box score is Buy Nba 2k23 mt, though and how poorly Westbrook performed last season.
