#1: Russell Westbrook trade for John Wall still on the table with the Houston Rockets?

Spotrac’s Keith Smith had the latest report on the Lakers trade rumors:
- The ideal situation for the Lakers would be to trade Westbrook. There’s considerable reporting that Pelinka has a standing offer to send Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for John Wall’s nearly-matching contract. The catch? LA will have to surrender one of the two tradable first round picks (in 2026, 2027 or 2028) they have left. The real question: Can the Lakers do better in a trade?

Lakers rumors will only heat up if this offseason’s moves don’t pan out, and even Jeanie Buss realizes that - check out what she said in a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times’ Bill Plaschke:

- I’m growing impatient just because we had the fourth-highest payroll in the league. … When you spend that kind of money on the luxury tax, you expect to go deep into the playoffs. So, yeah, it was gut-wrenching for me to go out on a limb like that and not get the results that we were looking for. … I’m not happy, I’m not satisfied …

- Absolutely, if we are not living up to the Lakers standard, absolutely I will look at everything … I will make the hard decisions, because that’s what you have to do.
