Throughout the summer, there were few teams the Lakers didn’t talk to about a Russell Westbrook trade. Ranging from the Hornets to the Pacers to the Nets to the Spurs to the Jazz and a host of other certain in-between, it felt like at least half the league was contacted about Westbrook.
But with no traction found on those deals and the Lakers having seemingly exhausted all available options, the talks have gone quiet. In his latest The Lowe Post podcast episode, Zach Lowe of ESPN revealed that the Lakers do not have anything in the works as things stand on the trade front.
