According to reporter Kevin O'Connor, Lakers has restarted the transaction of Westbrook . League sources analyzed that the Lakers will send Westbrook away and then seek to make up for the outside scorer.
The Lakers' transaction with Jazz was reported and actual actions a few months ago, but for various reasons, nothing happened. After the start of the new season, Westbrook's performance was extremely sluggish, and the Lakers had completely lost confidence in him and were ready to send him away.
The Lakers are expected to negotiate with the Jazz later, and the transaction goals are also being discussed. Specifically, Jordan Clarkson , Mike Conley and Rudy Guy . All three of them have the ability to shoot from outside. One of the Lakers' current shortcomings is that their attack power outside the three-point line is very poor.
In addition, today the Lakers announced that Westbrook would most likely not participate in the away game against Nuggets on Thursday due to a hamstring injury. At this time, news of Westbrook's injury was very directive. After all, Westbrook's career is known for being "durable".
No matter whether the transaction can be successful or not, Westbrook lost the few professional reputations left, which is destined. No one has any idea whether the Lakers still have a chance this season.
