For everyone connected to the NBA, los angeles lakers Looking to trade Russell Westbrook before the 2022-23 season begins. It’s been the story of all seasons and only heated up last week.
First, a trade for Patrick Beverly (who doesn’t have a good past with Westbrook). seemingly shown That the team was ready to move on. So, Marc Stein reported Utah Jazz president Danny Ainge is desperate for two future first-round picks for the Lakers, who are a candidate for the third team to sign Donovan Mitchell.
A Westbrook trade seems inevitable, but if there’s one thing we know about the NBA, it’s that nothing is guaranteed.A month ago, Kevin Durant Los Angeles clearly want to move Russ, but they may simply be unable or unwilling to pay the high price. I can’t.
That said, Jeannie Buss may have foreseen that the Lakers would trade Russell Westbrook no matter what this offseason. Bus sat down for an interview with GQ Not once did Westbrook be mentioned, even when she was previewing the next season.
When asked about the upcoming season, Buss provided the following response.
“We changed coaches, so it’s a new voice, and hopefully we continue to stay injury-free. And when you have Anthony and LeBron, a lot of great things happen, but you need a supporting cast who can play the role and keep you out of injury, Kendrick Nunn, who was absent last season. Coming back and a lot of young players… you can name them but not really until you see how they play… you have to always give Durbin Hamm time and resources We need to get the team together to see how they move forward.”
It’s painfully clear that Jeanie Buss leaves Russell Westbrook out when talking about the Lakers.
Russell Westbrook isn’t exactly the fringe roll player the Lakers have this season.
Durbin Ham have never hesitated to talk about Westbrook and often praise the former MVP more than they should. We are dealing with various media.
didn’t give me a bus Wrong Answered about Westbrook, the fact that she didn’t answer at all must be told to Lakers fans. I mentioned…but she didn’t. He is a very obvious exception.
As it stands, Westbrook’s time with the Lakers looks definitively over, even if the Lakers can’t trade him this offseason.・It wouldn’t be shocking at all to pull the wall and tell you to go home.
If that happened, the Lakers would have hoped the trade market would have evolved enough by the deadline to possibly move him if the Buddy Hield/Myles Turner package wasn’t available this offseason.
