No defender hmm what will he do for turnovers

That’s not a shot he can shoot in a game. Casual pace, standing almost flat footed. Game action different. Playoff action even more so…

The trade was supposedly going to be either with the Pacers or the Jazz. However, it would mean that the Lakers may have to give up the 2027 and 2029, first-round draft picks. According to The Athletic, the Lakers are unlikely to trade Westbrook but the decision would also depend on the Lakers’ performance during the training camps and the preseason.
