Lakers and Wizards are in serious talks on a Russell Westbrook trade to L.A., sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Westbrook has become the Lakers' primary focus. He would give them a dynamic playmaker alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

This means Beal has to be in the trade talks as well. My guess is he goes to Warriors or Celtics.

I cannot believe they would take that trash from the Lakers for Westbrook? They would have to be out of their minds. And I dont think the salaries even match up.

If it's
Kuz
KCP
Trez
Then salaries do march. Lakers can acquire 125% of the going out salaries + 100k.

Trades happen with an agenda. Look at the trash the Lakers took from the Heat for Shaq. Washington does this because they want Westbrook gone. They take some lesser talent and movable players and a pick. They can make something happen with that in the future.

There is an expectation that the Lakers' acquisition of Russell Westbrook may not be completed until the new league calendar year, similar to the NOLA-MEM trade, and it could even be finalized as a larger, multi-team deal during free agency, according to league sources.

Suns get Landry Shamet from Nets, send no 29 pick and Jevon Carter in return.

Official completion of a Westbrook-to-the-Lakers trade, like the recent Memphis/New Orleans trade, can't happen before Aug. 6 when the 2021-22 salary-cap year begins. As @JakeLFischer and others have noted, that gives time for the trade to expand beyond the Lakers and Washington. https://t.co/uI4vyAX0v3
