The Lakers have one goal for next season and that is to move Russell Westbrook to another team. The base has not played well the season and has a very high contract to pay.
Although many reports indicated that it was very difficult to move the player to another team, the result is that there is a cadre very interested in having Westbrook’s services. It’s about the Charlotte Hornets.
Lakers Trade Westbrook 2022 for Hayward and Oubre from Charlotte Hornets: it’s possible?
According to NBA journalist Jake Fischer, the Charlotte Hornets team is interested in making a change that would involve moving Westbrook to the team for the contracts of Gordon Hayward, Kelly Oubre or Mason Plumlee plus a smaller third party.
Charlotte knows Westbrook’s contract will run through the 2023 season and is interested in getting that slot for the 2024 season.
In addition, WestBrook is liked by Michael Jordan and also a member of the Jordan Brand.
So far it seems to be the only team in the NBA interested in having the services of Russell Westbrook in the NBA. The point guard’s season has been forgotten by a Laker team that failed to qualify for the Play-Offs.
