Patrick Beverly and Russell Westbrook have said they want championship rings if the Los Angeles Lakers win.
Beverly and Westbrook left the Lakers in trades this season. Beverly wore a Chicago Bulls uniform through a buyout after being traded to the Orlando Magic. Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz, but also went to the Los Angeles Clippers through a buyout.
“I met Westbrook at the gym, and he 크크크벳 said, ‘The Lakers won. I want a championship ring,'” Beverly said on a recent podcast.
Beverly is of the same opinion. “I’ll be waiting for a championship ring, too,” he said. He also said, “(If you receive the ring) you will have tears.”
Beverly averaged 6.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 45 games for the Lakers. Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 52 games for the Lakers . There is no NBA rule dictating whether a player traded mid-season must receive a championship ring. It is left to the discretion of the team. Beverly said in February that his goal was to “stop the Lakers from making the playoffs.” At the time, the Lakers were in 13th place in the Western Conference. Contrary to Beverly’s words, however, the Lakers made it to the playoffs through a play-in tournament, defeating the second-seeded Memphis Grizzlies 4-2 in the first round.
On the other hand, Beverly’s team Chicago lost to the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament and was eliminated, and Westbrook’s team Clippers lost to the Phoenix Suns in the first round and bought a bundle early.
Attention is focusing on whether the Lakers will give them a ring when they win.
