Yeah that offer makes zero sense. Lakers can not be a decent team and keep their pick. No point in giving an FRP to still be terrible.

That's definitely a shot at Russ. It's clear the coaching staff asked him to play a certain way and he has refused.

Who cares, the Lakers came from 20+ down and somehow still managed to choke a 9 point lead, then still won somehow anyway

Yeah he’s throwing subliminals at Russ. Wow.
Trade Russ - both sides may agree with him leaving anyways. Lakers still will not win it all this year anyways

Re: LeBron taking shots at Westbrook? Westbrook benched for the entire overtime
I don't necessarily think there's much Russ can do to even fix this situation. He's just really bad at shooting and very turnover prone. Pair that with losing a step athletically and he just isn't a very good point guard right now.

I think he's more than capable of playing under control, not taking stupid shots and cut down on the turnovers.
Wasn't there a stretch he was criticized and he stated playing as described for a lot of games?

Yea right. LeBron is never known to be passive-aggressive.

He could start by playing the defensive scheme the coaching staff works hard on. He's out there leaving his assignment unguarded mid-possession. Attention span of a goldfish.

It doesn't really make sense as a shot at Russ, and judging by the last time he was asked about Russ being benched, I don't think LeBron has any interest in talking about that situation at all.
As for the second part of what you said, something absolutely happened after the Minnesota game on Jan 2nd. Look at Westbrook's game log: https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/w/westbru01/gamelog/2022
His turnovers and his assists have been way down (the last 5 games without LeBron notwithstanding). I don't know what prompted the change - whether it was the coaching staff or just something within Russ. Oddly enough he hasn't played better or worse really, just a different brand of bad.

Re: LeBron taking shots at Westbrook? Westbrook benched for the entire overtime
Him being benched for OT is telling. Lebron's comment is not.
