Los Angeles Lakers: High expectations, poor Results.

Good Morning People, hope y'all had a good night rest. As a basketball fan (the NBA to be specific), I support the Los Angeles Lakers. We have arguably three of the League's Best Players, but we've been officially eliminated from Playoff contention.
Care to know why?

During the 20/21 off-season, the Los Angeles Lakers Front Office, in charge of Trades, Player-contract extension and Draft picks traded the young core of the team to the Washington Wizards in exchange for a Superstar in the Person of Russell Westbrook. It's important to note that, Russell Westbrook, before now, had previously played with quite a good number of NBA Greats but is yet to place his hands on the NBA's most coveted Trophy, the NBA CHAMPIONSHIP. The moment the Los Angeles Lakers traded for Russell, they lost their renowned defensive identity, tenacity and team cohesiveness that won them a CHAMPIONSHIP 2 seasons ago.

When Russell Westbrook became a Laker, he formed a Big Three with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The trio formed was plagued with injuries, a disappointment, and clearly didn't live up to expectations. The least they could have done for the fanbase, was to make the playoffs, but they failed, and this is without doubt the biggest disappointment in the history of the NBA.
