Will the Los Angeles Lakers trade Russell Westbrook?
There’s still a month before the start of training camp but I’m not sure this is a foregone conclusion anymore. While the acquisition of Patrick Beverley may indicate that the team is ready to move Westbrook, there’s also a chance we don’t see a big move from the Los Angeles Lakers until the NBA Trade Deadline.
If I was the Lakers’ front office, there’s no way I would take this roster into training camp. Although, there’s only a month left before the start of training camp and there’s no indication that the Lakers are close to a potential trade of Westbrook.
On one hand, you’d have to think that the Lakers have to trade Westbrook. But, then again, this is an organization that thought it would be smart to bring him in the first place. Trading Westbrook is one of those things that’s easier said than done.
I have no idea if it will happen. It should, but it’s far from a foregone conclusion.
