Live Bar, January 18 according to Adam Taylor, a reporter from Heavy website, his colleague Deveney learned when communicating with senior executives of the Western team that the Lakers might still trade Russell-Westbrook.
The executive, who did not want to be named, said that the Lakers discussed some additional trading options for weishao, and the responsibility was to withdraw the long-term contract to increase the benefits of any potential transactions.
“Wei Shao played very well. They (Lakers) are looking for a way to reach a deal without giving up multiple (First round) picks, which will involve a longer contract, for example, get little Tim Hardaway from The Lone Ranger or other similar ones. They (Lakers) have also discussed funier and Derek Rose, which may be the best reward they can get in the (weishao) deal.” The executive said.
So far this season, Wei Shao has played 41 games for the Lakers, with an average of 15.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 1 snatch in 28.7 minutes.
