It has become an open secret that the Lakers will send him off once we decide to execute on his $47 million player option this summer, according to Mark Stein.
Inside the league, the Hornets are Westbrook's potential next home because they have long-term contracts, and in order to create salary flexibility for the future in order to keep three goals, Bridges and PJ-Washington, Jordan is willing to solve the Lakers' urgent needs.
If the offseason Deal can be reached, in addition to swapping with Wall, it is almost certain that the Lakers will need to take back the long-term contract. When it comes to the Westbrook trade, the Lakers have more concerns than the outside world, because the 37-year-old James and the 29-year-old Thick Brow have been injured often in the past, and whether they have a history of injury or illness will be the Lakers' first choice to facilitate the trade.
Hayward, who is reimbursed three times in four years, will not be able to get into the eyes of the Lakers, and it is impossible to talk about the single replacement of Wei Shao, and the Lakers will recycle the long-term contract and will definitely consider the durability of the player. Although Wei Shao's performance is bad, his attendance is good, and if he trades steel for glass, Pelinka will certainly not agree.
In other words, the Lakers are not interested in the Hornets' chips, the two sides can conduct in-depth negotiations, if rozier is the main body of the transaction, the Lakers may look sideways.
For the Lakers, the ideal scenario would be to swap Westbrook's contract for two (or more) experienced players who can help right away.
