The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly continuing to seek an exchange for Russell Westbrook. “Russ is more than willing to trade,” confirmed ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne in the latest installment of Zach Lowe’s Lowe Post. “He didn’t ask to be sold, of that I’m sure. But he is open to the possibility of going to a team that wants him, gives him responsibility and wants him to play like old Russell Westbrook ”.
As also underlined by the Sky Sport 24 website, until now all the exchanges “that have seen him involved treated him as a contract to be entered to make the accounts work, and then find an agreement for a buyout (with Utah or Indiana, for example) and reappear as a free agent on the market. Furthermore – we read – the Lakers would not like to receive back contracts that go beyond 2023, to preserve the wage space and chase a big one (Kyrie Irving’s name is the most talked about), making it even more difficult to find a square ” .
Westbrook’s contract with the Los Angeles Lakers is for $ 47 million and expires in 2023.
