The Lakers’ upcoming trade plans for Russell Westbrook

The 15th of December is a date that the Lakers will be eagerly looking forward to. Currently, the team has 14 players on their roster, this is because on Wednesday they showed the exit door to Matt Ryan. It was shocking news for the fans as Ryan was one of the few sharpshooters on the roster, and shooting has arguably been a problem for the Lakers this season.

It is assumed that the Lakers dismissed Ryan in order to save tax and create a space in the roster for an upcoming trade. Ryan likely became a victim because he was the only one on the team with a non-guaranteed contract. Furthermore, the Lakers now have one empty spot in the team.
