Russell WestbrookThe team’s future with the Los Angeles Lakers remains a huge question mark, especially after the team’s decision to trade for Patrick Beverly.
As a result, a move to another team looks more likely than ever, with multiple teams believed to be in the mix.
Sam Amico of ‘Hoopswire.com’ reports the Lakers spoke to no less than five teams.
The Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz are two potential landing spots, with the latter now in the midst of rebuilding following their decision to swap Donovan Mitchell.
Draft picks key to Westbrook exit
One stumbling block is the Lakers’ reluctance to include their first draft picks found in 2027 and 2029, though Amico says that could change.
“If that means the trade is made as soon as possible, the Lakers are ready to move their two picks,” he said.
