The market for Russell Westbrook’s services is still alive.
The Los Angeles Lakers are still very much trying to Russell Westbrook according to reports. Via Shams Charania of The Athletic, “Utah, New York, and Indiana are among the teams who have discussed deals with the Lakers involving Russell Westbrook and draft capital, sources said. There appears no deal imminent in those conversations — as the overall trade market plays out over the next two months of the offseason.”

The Nets are on not on the short list of teams, even though they’ve been linked to a trade for Kyrie Irving. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, James, Davis and Westbrook reportedly are all on the same page, but there have been conflicting reports if LeBron really wants to play with him again.
Westbrook averaged 18 points a game while shooting 44% from the floor.
Not terrible numbers but a far cry from his previous production.
