According to NBA insider sources, the Los Angeles Lakers are in talks to acquire veteran point guard, Russell Westbrook, from the Washington Wizards before the NBA trade deadline. The potential deal would send Westbrook, a former MVP and three-time All-Star, to the Lakers in exchange for several role players and draft picks. The addition of Westbrook would give the Lakers a formidable backcourt alongside LeBron James and could significantly boost their playoff chances.
