westbrook if you are talking about also having miles turner in that deal or rather it seems like it would be a secondary move, they would be taking a taelynn horton tucker type package to try and get healed healed, a Six-year NBA veteran, he averaged 15.6 points per game last season with his lowest production since the 2017-2018 season, but after a mid-season trade from Sacramento to Indiana he had a pretty notable increase in performance. production averaging 18.2 points per game and starting in all 26 games in which he appeared, what is more important for the Lakers is that Hild has established himself as one of the best shooters in the game, a three points with a 39.8 percent effectiveness in his career who scores an average of three triples per game.

The Lakers could use a volume three-point threat to complement Westbrook, who shot less than 30 percent from beyond the arc last season. It's not the first time the Lakers have pursued either cured last summer before taking a gamble on Westbrook in a blockbuster trade with the Wizards supposedly having a deal with Sacramento that would have cured a Laker instead, the team of los angeles took on the $44 million albatross that was westbrook's contract plus westbrook's fallout with lebron james westbrook recently parted ways with his former agent thad foucher who issued a shockingly explosive statement indicating that westbrook was desperate to leave the Lakers, even if there is very little public interest in the fading superstar.

The Athletic reported that, according to league sources, the division caught several people around the Lakers off guard. It certainly wasn't like that. help what was already an unstable environment, but it's not just his agent with whom Westbrook apparently had irreconcilable differences that, according to Thaucher, was the reason for their split from him. It appears that Westbrook had fallen out with Lebron James, who is reportedly quite interested in trading Westbrook and making room. for a possible reunion with Kyrie Irving of the Brooklyn Nets, but ESPN reported that talks between the Nets and Lakers had not progressed, making it increasingly unlikely that James would have Irving on his team this season.

Westbrook and James recently watched the Lakers' summer league game together. but they didn't talk to each other at all and even exited the game at different times through different doors. Sources told the Southern California news group that several people within the Lakers organization acknowledged that it was a fairly awkward and tense moment between the top two. profile superstars awkward and tense really sums up the atmosphere in one of the nba's glamorous franchises kyle goon even wrote in the orange county record that the subtext of the chilean scene seemed clear another comment from james has been interpreted as a possible jab at westbrook on a recent episode of his youtube show the store james talked about his desperation to win and how problematic he finds it when his teammates don't feel the same way it definitely seems aimed at westbrook the next knicks are still the strong mitchell's preference for being transferred elsewhere in jazz.

They appear no closer to finding a suitable offer for Donovan Mitchell as trade negotiations drag on. Last week it was reported that the Utah Jazz were discussing a possible deal with the New York Knicks, but they were unable to come to an agreement. Reports suggested that Jazz had offered Mitchell. trade for six future first-round draft picks plus quentin grimes obi toppin emmanuel quickly and miles mcbride that still did not appeal to the knicks who still had a strong preference for mitchell to be

traded

according to espn's tim mcmahon it seems that the Jazz could go in a similar direction as the Nets, who are willing to remain patient with no clear end to Kevin Durant's trade negotiations so far despite rumors that the Utah Jazz have closed offers from a handful of teams for the star point guard.

According to Andy Larson of the Salt Lake Tribune after the Rudy Gobert trade, they felt that league executives were trying to take advantage of what they perceived as an opportunity to get Mitchell on the cheap. Larson said that, according to league sources, an offer came from Miami before the Gobear trade even came together, however, the Jazz found the offer insufficient, what's more, Miami's win now has limited picks and young players to trade at this time, while utah has rejected all offers for the 25-year-old so far, larson believes the team is now willing to part with mitchell for the right price, in fact, the general manager of the jazz, justin zanik, hinted that mitchell's status with the jazz could be determined by what other teams offer for him, it seems that if the jazz got a return that would make them more likely to be a championship team they would make the deal justin zanik refused to label mitchell as untouchable when asked if the three-time All-Star would be

traded

an important part of what they were trying to do.

He also said that things are constantly evolving in the NBA, so we can't assume anyone is untouchable. They're trying to build a championship team after all, plus where there's smoke there's usually fire, well, Donovan's days in Salt Lake City seem numbered. Espn's Brian Windhorst believes he at least needs to prepare for the team to enter an inevitable rebuild and now, first, some other NBA-related news. paddy mills ended his contract the Australian point guard who was one of the best three-point shooters in the league last season has re-signed a two-year contract worth $14.5 million to return to the brooklyn nets according to journalists from espn news came recently Days after Mills opted out of the final year of his contract, which was worth $6.2 million, his agent immediately added that he had not ruled out a return to the Nets, although he rejected the free agent deal .

Wojonowski reported that returning to Brooklyn was not possible. Still, Mills was not out of the picture and had signed with the Nets last summer with the intention of becoming a complementary piece around Kevin Durant and point guard Kyrie Irving. However, due to Irving's strong beliefs in Coven 19, Mills ended up playing a lot of rotation minutes, especially during the first half of the season, even though he had a fantastic season, he will be over 34 years old when the new season begins. campaign, so his new contract gives him an extra year and a slight increase in salary, plus a lot of anticipation, we must say. also lebron defends tatum from critics jason tatum had an incredible year with the boston celtics, most notably leading the team to the nba finals, he became the first most valuable player of the eastern conference finals and despite that the boston celtics ended up losing to the golden state warriors It's pretty clear that only good things await Tatum and the Celtics.

Many people have criticized the player for his performances in the Finals as he struggled when defended by Andrew Wiggins and other Warriors defenders. In fact, Nick Young even claimed that Jason left Jalen Brown hanging. during the game, but recently LeBron James came to his defense noting that the Celtic star had a phenomenal season regardless of the result and adding that he will surely return to the highest stage. jayson tatum has proven that he is a superstar in this league with After his playoff run, he now has experience playing in the finals and there is no doubt that he will perform even better next time and lastly, what is next for the Nets elsewhere?

The network's former starting center Andre Drummond signed a two-year, $6.6 million contract. with the chicago bulls it was rumored throughout the week that the nets were at least somewhat interested in retaining drummond however now it appears brooklyn will have to explore other options blake griffin another of brooklyn's centers from last season has been repeatedly linked to the lakers and javale mcgee, who the nets reportedly had interest in, signed a three-year deal with the dallas mavericks, so aside from claxton, the center spot is pretty much up in the air for the nets, other than daeron sharp the nets have little up front maybe that's where sean marx will have to attack next and that's a summary of this video what do you think about the lakers $63 million mistake?
