The Rockets had offered Wall to exchange Wei Shaojia for the first round of picks, but the Lakers refused

Yahoo reporter Chris Haynes spoke about the Lakers' deal news on the TNT livestream.

"They're hard. We all know they don't have a lot of trading assets, and Tarren Horton Tucker is probably their only valuable trading asset, and he doesn't get anyone who can strengthen the team. In this regard, their contract is trapped. But sources revealed to me that the Rockets did contact the Lakers to trade John Wall for Russell Westbrook, but they wanted the Lakers to add a first-round pick. The Lakers refused, so the discussion was over. So the Lakers don't have much more to do. Sources reveal that they will see what they can do in the buyout market, but it is still difficult to get players who can help them become champions contenders. ”
