Through the first three games, he is averaging 10.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 steals per contest. 

The Lakers have lost to the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers.

Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers came down to the wire, but they lost by a score of 106-104. 

Last season, Westbrook averaged 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists per contest in 78 games.

However, the Lakers went just 33-49 and missed the NBA Playoffs for the second time in four seasons.

Westbrook does not appear to be a good fit with the Lakers, and he was in trade rumors all summer long.

While it's still very early in the 82-game season, the Lakers do not look anything like a playoff team.

Currently, LeBron James is off to an excellent start to his 20th season in the NBA, averaging 27.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per contest.
