Entering the end of their prime, both Westbrook and Harden. Both teams are equally good, the Lakers having won a title in 2020. Westbrook struggled to win in both Houston and Washington and fans hoping for a better playoff appearance this year.

If that wasn’t enough, both teams were also plagued with injuries during the 2020-21 season. The Nets played without Irving, Durant, and Harden for an extended amount of time, which ultimately cost them their title. The Lakers were without James and Davis during the second half of the season. They suffered an early first-round exit vs the Phoenix Suns. With Westbrook now a part of the roster, fans can’t help but hope for a title again.

Both Westbrook and Harden have received their fair share of criticism in the league. However, even if they are not playing together, both men are expected to excel with the team they have signed with.
