Russell Westbrook Has DEMANDED To Be Traded..

Russell Westbrook Has DEMANDED To Be Traded.. Welcome back to The Sportest. According to ESPN's Dave McMenamin, there is currently "no traction" on a Kyrie Irving-Russell Westbrook trade between the Nets and the Lakers. As a result of stalled negotiations, the Lakers are now searching elsewhere for backcourt reinforcements. Los Angeles is now "re-engaging" with the Pacers in order to discuss the possibility of acquiring Indiana shooting guard Buddy Hield. Hield, a six-year NBA veteran, averaged 15.6 points per game last year, which was a poor mark compared to his production in 2017–18. However, following a midseason move from Sacramento to Indiana, Hield's performance significantly improved, averaging 18.2 points per game and starting all 26 of his games. This isn't the first time the Lakers have tried to sign Hield. Before investing everything on Westbrook in a sensational trade with the Wizards last July, Los Angeles purportedly had a deal with Sacramento in place that would have made Hield a Laker. The $44 million ($A63m) albatross that was the Westbrook deal was instead assumed by the Lakers. #LosAngelesLakers #NBA #LakersDeal Related Videos: The Lakers Are In TROUBLE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ld8TGBQcTag How The Lakers Ruined A Championship Team https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNBnSHPMDTg Eric Gordon?
