The Lakers are so depleted of assets. I hear all the woofing about their commitment to be a contender right away coming from Laker world, from J Buss and LBJ especially, but unless some other team takes Westbrook off their hands, I don't see how they get there. The cupboard is so bare.
1 There's Lebron and AD, who are good on paper, but have to be healthy for almost every game to carry them, but those days seem to be long gone.
2 Westbrook will be next to impossible to move and if he's playing a major role, how is that helpful to winning?
3 No picks to use in a trade.
4 Almost nothing else. The depth was a bunch of spares and washed guys, most of whom are FAs.
Their cap will probably limit them to spend Taxpayer MLE and minimums. It doesn't look like a place where a veteran will come and take a small deal to win a ring.
Does anyone see something promising they can do?
