If they would want to trade someone from the team, it should not be AD because he proved himself to the team already and gave them a championship. I guess it will be Westbrook that will be traded and bring in guys a bunch of players that will provide some contribution for better rotation.

Exactly, if they played against a team with at least 0.500 standing, it will be tough for them, they are lucky to beat the Magic with a very bad home record.

So what's gonna happen, will they trade John Wall for Westbrook again?

At this point it only makes sense to take on Russell Westbrook if you are getting draft capital back.  Especially for a team who isn't going to compete this year.  What would a team like houston do with Westbrook? He will only take minutes from the young guys who need court experience.  My guess is russ doesn't go anywhere.

wow, is this really true? Is there a possibility to trade Westbrook and Wall?

Do you believe that if you trade Westbrook the Lakers will improve significantly? Is Russell the "problem" in the Lakers?

Honestly I don't understand this negotiation

Hmmmmm Ok lets remove Davis from the trade talks already and I think you are right that AD proved himself to be worthy with the team because he gave the team a championship alongside Lebron but I hope that he will  not be injury prone so he can give the team another championship.

With regards to Westbrook, its pretty obvious that he isn't fit to the team because with his whole career this season is the worst and I think many will agree with me . Trading him and some old players will help the team as a whole.

Many might agree with me that the Phoenix Suns are the most balanced team right now in the league.
In the NBA Finals last season, I believe that Phoenix can beat Milwaukee on that series. Its just that the Suns doesn't have any substitution for Ayton that can fill his spot and can at least defend Giannis. Now 2021-2022 season, they acquired McGee which is a big help for the team and correct me but this is his best season in his whole career (better than when he is in Warriors) and now they also acquired Biyombo who performed well after giving him a 10 day contract and we know that he is also a reliable big back when he is in the Hornets.

Suns have shooters, initiator, passers, a reliable bigs everything that is why they are at the top spot right now. I just hope that there will be no injuries to the players and I think that they can reach at least the WCF or the NBA Finals again. Well, its just my opinion though . Correct me if there is something wrong.

They are so far the most balance team because they have good chemistry, just recently the Warriors are struggling but when they are in tune, I still think they are better than the Phoenix Suns. For now, I give it to the Suns but when playoffs come, it will be a different story.

Everything is possible though in NBA, everyone is not safe to be traded from the Lakers, maybe Lebron is the only one. But Russell Westbrook? the management will trade him in a heart beat if they think he is the problem with the Lakers woes.

So this news might have some weight though, but we will have to see. Maybe the management is really thinking of trading their coaches right now or just players.

Do you guys think CP3 has a chance to win the MVP race if we are not looking at just stats only?
Obviously, when it comes to stats Nikola Jokic will be the winner of it but when it comes to impact to the whole team and how he administered the Phoenix Suns in good and bad times CP3 has the upper hand. Those kinds will not be seen in stats but you can see it with how he maneuvers the pace of the game whenever they need it.
Isiah Thomas thinks so and I do see his point after watching the Suns game.

I think it will be too much if they offered draft picks. I mean a 1:1 trade will be suffice enough, in my opinion. Yeah, maybe a Lebron + WB pairing is really a bad combination, as obviously they are not clicking at this point. And I would say that the blame might be in WB here, Lebron is playing high level basketball, but WB was a total disappointment in Lakers uniform.
