For any team in NBA, changing the lineup is inevitable. After all, this is an important prerequisite for keeping the team moving forward.

For Lakers , which had only achieved 34 wins last season, they undoubtedly need to continue to improve their lineup before the new season. However, since this year's offseason, the Lakers have not been able to promote a real big deal, at least they still cannot get rid of the contract of Russell Westbrook .

However, US media James Pierce still suggests that the Lakers can send away Westbrook while promoting trades with the Rockets and the Spurs:

Lakers get: Eric Gordon , Jacob Pelter , Doug McDermott, Josh Richardson

Rockets get: Austin Reeves , Kendrick Na En, 2023 Pacers second round draft pick (from the Spurs), 2024 Lakers second round draft pick (from the Spurs)

Spurs get: Russell Westbrook, 2027 first round draft pick (from the Lakers), 2029 first round draft pick (from the Lakers)

The above transactions are all very heavy moves for the three teams. The Lakers get rewards from as many as 4 strong players when they get rid of Westbrook. Of course, this also requires the Lakers to sacrifice two future first round draft picks and two young players. However, if the Lakers want to continue to strengthen their lineup while getting rid of Westbrook, it is probably inevitable that they will sacrifice two first rounds.

As for the Rockets, they can also get two young players, Reeves and Nunn and , and they can also get two second-round draft picks from the Spurs. The Spurs received two future first-round picks when they took over Westbrook's contract, which is an acceptable return for the Spurs.
