Since the Los Angeles Lakers traded for Patrick Beverley last week, he has been in contact with new teammate Russell Westbrook.

Beverley and Westbrook have had multiple issues over the years dating back to a meniscus injury suffered by Westbrook during an aggressive play by Beverley during the 2013 playoffs.

Darvin Ham has told Westbrook and Beverley he has lineups in mind to play them on the floor together.

The Lakers have explored trading Westbrook this offseason but a deal has yet to materialize.
