Lakers’ Trade: Due to the discomfort noted in NBA circles concerning Russell Westbrook trade, Los Angeles Lakers set to sign in…

They don’t see another season with Westbrook and demand a trade for the Nets point guard.

As the season progresses, it seems that the possibility of the LA Lakers getting rid of Russell Westbrook, as they would like to, in order to add another star to join LeBron James and Anthony Davis, is looking more complicated.

There are some differing reports about how the situation is developing and what the likely outcome is.

According to a report by Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Lakers’ current ‘Big Three’ are said to be in cahoots to make things work next season.

But other media sources maintain that the Lakers’ stars are pressuring the franchise to part with Westbrook and try to land Kyrie Irving.

According to the Los Angeles Times, “the relationship between the Lakers and Westbrook has been strained in the offseason. He attended the Lakers’ NBA Summer League opener in Las Vegas, but he and LeBron James, who was also there, did not speak and watched the game from opposite sides of the court, a contrast to last season, when they spent a lot of time together in the summer.”

The media reports that many witnesses noticed the rift and maintain that team heavyweights LeBron and Davis would like to get Westbrook out of the way.

“The discomfort was noted in NBA circles, with strong beliefs that the Lakers’ biggest stars have been pushing for the franchise to trade him for Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving”.

There is optimism among some players that a deal for Irving can be worked out. While Westbrook never formally requested a trade, a new scenario could play out that could benefit the nine-time All-Star after a calamitous season with the Lakers.

Although the Los Angeles Times did not mention the names LeBron and Davis in its reporting as the ones who prompted the trade, it’s pretty obvious it was them.

The question is whether Irving would agree to go to the Lakers, as there is another report that the point guard has agreed to play for the Nets next season. The question, whatever the outcome, should be answered soon.
