Russell Westbrook met with LeBron James and Anthony Davis at James' home earlier this month to discuss the three of them playing together, Broderick Turner of Los Angeles Times reports.

The trio was reportedly willing to put their egos aside to help the Lakers bring another championship to Los Angeles. Westbrook is from Long Beach, California, and playing at home also played a factor.

James and Davis supposedly told Westbrook that they were willing to play at the power forward and center positions, respectively. That way, Westbrook could take on the point guard duties.

The 2016-17 season NBA MVP is also willing to play off the ball, just like he did on the Rockets with James Harden.

The Lakers gave up Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the No. 22 overall pick in the 2021 NBA draft, and future pick swaps to acquire Westbrook.
