This isn’t the news any of us wanted to hear, but stick with me for a second. First, the news, and that is according to Marc Stein, the Los Angeles Lakers are working to find a potential trade partner for Russell Westbrook as that relationship devolves.
Yeah, like no one saw that coming. Like one over the hill alpha, one over the hill never-was who thinks he’s an alpha, and the league’s pre-eminent beta sidekick were ever going to work together, but I digress...
According to Stein, the Houston Rockets haven’t ruled out the possibility of taking Russ back if the price is right.
