Summary

While the Lakers have reportedly been trying to trade Russell Westbrook, they have also been signaling they are fine bringing him back to (at least) start the season.

teams and all of these teams have been reported, right? But when you give yourself options,

0:50.6

it's harder to get pinned down in a negotiation. And so as a result of that, I have assumed,

0:57.9

and this is where we're going to talk about today, I have assumed that there's an offer on the
