Malik Monk Says LeBron James, Anthony Davis, And Russell Westbrook Can Play Well On Lakers As A Big 3: "It'll Work Out For Them."

The Russell Westbrook acquisition has not worked out that well for the Los Angeles Lakers. Even though he was an All-Star in the past, Russell Westbrook had an extremely poor season with the Los Angeles Lakers. Many have criticized him for committing poor turnovers, taking baffling shots, and not being able to adapt to being next to two superstars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Even though the Lakers' big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook did not end up working out, it seems as though they're committed to trying their partnership a productive one next season. Chris Haynes previously reported that the three stars had a phone call where they vowed to make things work on the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled up on a phone conversation the first weekend of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas with each expressing their commitment to one another and vowing to make it work, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

While the uncertainty of Westbrook’s future with the Lakers remains, the conversation was organized to make sure all three were on the same page as long as they’re joined together in their pursuit of a championship, sources said.

Recently, former Lakers shooting guard Malik Monk spoke to TMZ Sports about the Lakers' big three and suggested that they can still coexist as a unit. When asked about the phone call, Monk pointed out that the three stars are "grown men", and expressed optimism that things would "work out for them".
