The Los Angeles Lakers are struggling early in the season winning just five out of their first ten games. The team were dealing with number of injuries as veteran Trevor Ariza and youngsters Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn were yet to play an NBA game.
LeBron James also had missed four games into the season and will reportedly miss a minimum of two weeks, worst, up to eight weeks.
The team were also still looking for the right fit and chemistry inside the court.
Westbrook has been struggling so far early in the season averaging 19 points, 8.5 rebounds, 7.9 assists on a very low 41.8% shooting from the field, 26.8% from behind the arc and 62.8% from the free throw line.
Meanwhile, Hield is averaging 17,7 points on a very high 41.7 percent shooting from the three-point line.
The purple and gold could have gotten Buddy Hield during the off-season but the team opted to bring Westbrook in Los Angeles to team up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
A highlight of Buddy Hield trended on Twitter. Hield made a spinning half court buzzer beater three.
NBA Fans and Lakers’ fans saw the chance to troll the Lakers for getting Westbrook instead of Hield.
