LAL hesitant to attach multiple 1sts for WestbrookAugust 12, 2022 | 01:27 PM
In a recent article from the LA Times, Dan Woike reports that the Lakers are hesitant to attach multiple first-round picks to Russell Westbrook in a potential trade.
Analysis: The asking price to take on Westbrook's monstrous $47 million contract for the upcoming season will start with two first-round picks, but even that might not be enough for some teams. Trading Westbrook will be a difficult proposition even with multiple firsts, and Rob Pelinka might be more inclined to let Russ play out the final year of his deal and retain the much-needed draft picks. We'd expect Westbrook to remain with the Lakers this season.
