This year's deal deadline has passed, and the Lakers have not completed any transactions. According to The Athletic reporter Bill Oram, the Lakers coaching staff had pressured management to ask for a deal, but the Lakers did not really arouse the interest and attention of the opponent team in the deal negotiations on Westbrook, so they could only try other operations.
The Lakers have reportedly failed several potential deal negotiations, including asking the Raptors for Ken Birch and Chris Boucher and asking the Knicks about the possibility of getting Cam Redish. Previously, rumors that the Lakers had discussed a three-way deal with the Knicks and Raptors, but in the end, they failed because of the issue of draft picks.
In addition, ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst also broke the news that the Lakers also discussed a potential deal with the Rockets, specifically the first round pick of Westbrook + Tucker + 2027, in exchange for Wall and Wood, but in the end it was gone.
