Lakers, Jazz Held Discussions On Russell Westbrook Trade

The Los Angeles Lakers believe they need to make another trade to firm up their roster for a playoff run. That’s led Los Angeles back to discussing Russell Westbrook trades. This time, those discussions were with the Utah Jazz.

The Lakers are continuing to search around the league for a trade, or trades, that will give them the depth they need to compete for a title this season. Despite Westbrook’s improved play since moving to the bench, he’s continued to be available for trade.

Utah and Los Angeles already linked up for one deal this season. The Jazz traded Patrick Beverley to the Lakers for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson. Utah is rumored to be listening on several of their veteran players ahead of next week’s trade deadline.
