Westbrook's rating is not one of a superstar player
The Suns are the 11th most successful team in the entire league, according to the overall ratings of all 32 teams in NBA 2K MT. When the game launches, Phoenix will be aiming for an overall team rating of 90. Phoenix Suns will also have five players who have been rated at least 80 and above in NBA 2K23, which includes this year's choice for 2K23 cover player:
A lot has changed with the Los Angeles Lakers when the team decided to trade Russell Westbrook last summer. Los Angeles traded legitimate NBA assets and a first round pick for Westbrook in an move which was widely condemned in the moment.
The critics of the trade turned out to be accurate, as Westbrook was the biggest thorn in the team's side during the last season. The Lakers stand in a situation where they are actively better if they trade Westbrook but they might have thought about it but have given up.
The unfortunate thing is that Westbrook believes that he's an elite athlete. He was not able to take any responsibility for the team's mishaps in his last exit interview of the season. Westbrook has an ego in basketball that's extremely hard to break. Perhaps the folks on Buy MT 2K23 can break that ego down a bit, though. Ratings for the upcoming game are beginning to be released and Westbrook's rating is not one of a superstar player (which the guy believes he's). It's that of the bench player with a rotation.
