According to Marc Stein, the source revealed that if the Westbrook deal for Wall is reached, the Rockets are expected to buy out Westbrook soon.
According to Marc Stein, the Rockets are the only team in the league that is likely to be willing to accept Westbrook through a trade, but the Rockets are not interested in Westbrook playing for themselves again, and they want to exchange some future assets and get rid of Wall.
Westbrook has 2 years left on his contract and is paid $44,211,146 this season and $47,063,478 for the 22-23 season (player option).
Rockets reporter Kelly Iko confirmed the rumor in a post today, adding that the Lakers must pay aggressive chips if they want to make a deal, such as a 27-year first-round pick or pulling in a third party.
