Though rumors had swirled before the 2022 trade deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers ultimately decided not to trade Russell Westbrook and a future first-round draft asset to the Houston Rockets for John Wall. That does not mean, however, that the talks can’t be revisited at a later date.
Per Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report, powerful sports agency Klutch Sports — run by Rich Paul, who represents Wall, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis — was not pleased by the Lakers’ choice not to do the deal.
