The Lakers and Jazz talking about a Westbrook deal.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz have had exploratory conversations centered around star guard Russell Westbrook, league sources tell Bleacher Report. However, the Lakers are said to be in communication with most teams to sift through the most reasonable and logical options available. Westbrook has found his comfort zone as the team’s top reserve, placing him in the conversation for the Sixth Man of the Year award. Though his play has improved since accepting his new role, he has remained available for trade.

Before the season, the Lakers and the Pacers engaged in serious discussions about a potential Russell Westbrook trade that would’ve sent the former MVP and first-round picks to Indiana for center Myles Turner and guard Hield. The sides couldn’t come to an agreement before training camp, talks cooling once the Pacers pushed toward playoff contention. Four months later, the market for Westbrook has largely been unchanged, according to league sources from rival teams. The sense is any Westbrook trade probably would still require the Lakers to include a first-round pick to offset a team paying the rest of Westbrook’s $47 million salary.

He literally is about to

And you can get very little for him and let him get full money from the lakers, or walk and let him take a pay cut

Westbrook for Kyrie swap straight up. No picks, no additional players, no frills

GET IT DONE!

The math doesn’t work

Another player is needed

If he wants full money with the Lakers, he's going to have to prove it.

Right now I don't see many teams offering the Nets anything for Kyrie. Westbrook and a second might be the best on the table

Kyrie playing well this season. After all the chaos and bigotry, things had settled down over the last few months and it looked like the Nets were gonna be real contenders.

So of course NOW would be the time Kyrie asks for a trade.

This dude is straight up terminal cancer for teams

I'd do that Utah deal if Conley and Olynyk coming back with Vanderbilt

I’ll be Honest I don’t recognize most nba players without their jersey on


But the 08 Celtics are easily the best team of my lifetime

And the 2016 dubs are why they didn’t win 75 games

Unless you are talking Celtics only?

And you are younger than 35?

That is some crazy homerism right there.

‘08 Celtics lost 10 playoff games.

They were good and a worthy champion. Nowhere close to an all time great time which it seems like you are implying.
