Russell Westbrook had heated exchange with coach Darvin Ham

Russell Westbrook had heated exchange with coach Darvin Ham

LeBron James breaking the NBA’s all-time career scoring record on Tuesday was a monumental event, but unfortunately, it was somewhat shaded.

His Los Angeles Lakers lose to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 133-130, as they looked punchless in the fourth quarter after he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar late in the third quarter to claim the record.

Even worse, Russell Westbrook reportedly had a heated exchange with Lakers head coach Darvin Ham in the locker room during halftime.

It appeared the incident was triggered when Westbrook took too much time to leave the court after he was taken out of the contest in the second quarter.

On Wednesday, it was reported that Los Angeles was in some serious talks with the Minnesota Timberwolves and Utah Jazz regarding a trade that would send Westbrook out and bring it guard D’Angelo Russell, as well as possibly big man Jarred Vanderbilt and guard Malik Beasley.

Is it possible that the Westbrook-Ham incident expedited the Lakers’ desire to get rid of Westbrook? They have reportedly renewed their efforts to do so lately.
