More Reaction to Drama with Westbrook, LeBron and the Lakers, plus Cole Swider Fever is Catching!

A day has passed since a weird weekend that began with Russell Westbrook splitting with long-time agent Thad Foucher (according to Foucher's statement, over a conflict about Westbrook's future with the Lakers) and ended with LeBron James dominating the Drew League after sending out a tweet that felt like possibly trolling his current teammate. Increasingly, it appears LeBron would prefer Russ become an ex-teammate, but for the time being, there's no traction on a deal for his preferred/former running mate, Kyrie Irving. If anything, it feels just as likely that LeBron and Russ could be stuck together for another season under less than ideal circumstances. Either way, it's been a brutal year for Westbrook's image, as Foucher noted while explaining his side of the story. With Brian out on vacation, Andy spoke with Silver Screen and Roll writer/podcaster Alex Regla (@alexmregla) about this mess in L.A., LeBron's possible endgame here, and Westbrook's fall from grace. Plus, his thoughts on the Lakers' Summer League team, which was fun to watch, and spotlighted the sharpshooting Cole Swider, who has fans clamoring for more than a two-way contract with the Lakers.
