Russell Westbrook isn’t a guy who is going to be influenced by anyone. He is going to do what is best for Westbrook.
He is also the type of guy who likes to take on a challenge. While I am sure he isn’t happen KD left him, I have no doubt he believes he can lead OKC to great things.
The question begs for how long though?
According to these tweets maybe longer than you think.

You have to take it with a grain of salt because KD had said on more than one occasion that he wanted to stay with Thunder for the long-term.
