On January 26, Beijing time, according to US media reports, the famous Ramona revealed some stories about the back of Russell Westbrook's joining the Lakers last summer.
After the first round of the playoffs last season, LeBron and Thick Brow realized that the Lakers needed a third star, which could reduce the risk of injury for both of them, in addition to sharing the pressure on James' organizational offense.
However, in addition to Westbrook, James and Thick Brow have also met with Lillard and DeRozan, and from the Lakers' point of view, the star who wanted to join the Lakers at the time was also the star who had the best chance of getting it.
At the time, Westbrook told James and Westbrook: "I think I've done everything I've wanted to achieve in my career, my only goal is to win the championship, and in Los Angeles, I can see my family every day and I can win the championship here, which means a lot to me."
However, according to the current news, Westbrook does not look like it can be traded, and if the deal cannot be reached, Westbrook must play a role in the Lakers, their lineup must work, which is the only option for the Lakers, and there is no Plan B in Los Angeles this season. In addition, according to previous reports, the Rockets may be the only team that can accept Westbrook, but the Rockets hope to get a satisfactory additional chip from the Lakers (such as the 2027 first-round pick).
