The Los Angeles Lakers have stumbled out of the gate, triggering early speculation about possible roster moves. According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, LA is still uneasy about the status of former All-Star Russell Westbrook.
Charania reported the Lakers and new head coach Darvin Ham would find a meaningful, productive role for Westbrook “in a perfect world,” but the club is also keeping its options open. With limited trade assets left, the Lakers front office can’t afford to miss on any potential trade.
