Russell Westbrook Fires Longtime Agent For Simply Being Honest To Him
What more is there to say? How much evidence do you need? If you don’t get it by now, maybe some people just aren’t meant to be intelligent. You can lead a horse to water but can’t force them to drink it. There has never been an athlete in the history of professional sports with less self awareness than Russell Westbrook. Today we enter exhibit 7,293 into evidence.
As Adrian Wojnarowski reported, Westbrick fired his longtime agent Thad Foucher of Wasserman. Foucher has been Westbrook’s agent for his entire 14-year career. Westbrick fired Foucher because he was too honest with him.
“I represented Russell Westbrook for 14 years and am proud of our partnership which included a highly successful 2008 draft, a super-max contract and the only renegotiation-and-extend max contract in history. I also supported Russell throughout his rise into a prominent fashion industry figure and recently orchestrated three successive trades on Russell’s behalf — culminating with the trade to his hometown Los Angeles Lakers.
“Each time, teams gave up valuable players and assets to acquire Russell — and each time, a new organization embraced his arrival. We did it together with grace and class.
“Now, with a possibility of a fourth trade in four years, the marketplace is telling the Lakers they must add additional value with Russell in any trade scenario. And even then, such a trade may require Russell to immediately move on from the new team via buyout.
“My belief is that this type of transaction only serves to diminish Russell’s value and his best option is to stay with the Lakers, embrace the starting role and support that Darvin Ham publicly offered. Russell is a first-ballot Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame player and will prove that again before he is retired.
“Unfortunately, irreconcilable differences exist as to his best pathway forward and we are no longer working together. I wish Russell and his family the very best.”
By the way, Foucher’s right. If Westbrook actually wants to earn another payday again, his best bet is to go play really good basketball with LeBron and Anthony Davis. It won’t happen because the guy stinks but if the impossible hypothetical happened, Westbrook wouldn’t be a minimum contract guy the rest of his career. Right now, I’m not sure he’s the starting point guard for the Shanghai Sharks. He should be grateful. He starts for the Lakers.
Did anybody watch the guy last year? Did he watch himself? He’s the worst player in the league. Nobody misses as badly as Westbrook does. Nobody.
Ultimately more so than anything, it proves who Russell Westbrook is. It’s one of the biggest reasons why I don’t like his stupid ugly face. His whole life he was told how great he was and turned into a SELFISH piece of shit. Karma works in mysterious ways but it favors those who pay attention. Westbrook will find out his way out the league sooner rather than later and it’s simply because he just doesn’t get it.
Good luck to the next male or female that represents him. It’s a suicide mission. You’re dealing with the biggest cancer in NBA history and will get fired for telling him the truth. What a sad, pathetic man poor Mr. Westbrook is. Another chapter in the book of cancerous lies.
