NBA Trade Rumors: According to a recent report, the Indiana Pacers could emerge as a potential landing spot for Russell Westbrook.

However, according to a recent report, one potential landing spot for Russ could be the Indiana Pacers. Where it does make sense is if this is just an acquire and buyout move – if that’s something Russ would actually be interested in. To say that the Russell Westbrook experiment in Los Angeles didn’t go as expected would be a massive understatement.

The Los Angeles Lakers tend to exist on a teeter-totter with dysfunction on one side and dynasty teams on the other. Considering the club didn't make the ...

It’s a long offseason, there’s plenty of recruiting to be done, wine to be shared and the guard says he and James still have a great relationship off the court. The Lakers have an absolute mess on their hands. Considering the club didn’t make the postseason this year, we can safely say they are firmly in the camp of the former.

It's no secret roster changes are coming to Los Angeles this offseason.

If the Pacers plan to shed future salary, could a deal for Westbrook be a match? One area of the roster that the Lakers are expected to review is point guard, where the Russell Westbook experiment was by-and-large a failure. If the Lakers were to move Westbrook and his $47 million player option that he is expected to pick up, the Pacers could emerge as a suitor, according to a new report from The Athletic.

Westbrook averaged 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists on the season but struggled with efficiency in an up-and-down year.

"Just my play in general, not my best season, just going off my own personal scale," he said. But once that decision is made then we'll kind of go from there." Now I got to fight against this one. "Like any player, we'll partner with him after that decision is made about what's best for his future," Pelinka said. Now I go to fight against this one. "That's why it's called 'player option.'" "It's a combination of where we are on the floor, positioning, fit and challenge, trial and error, being able to play on the floor with each other," Westbrook said. "Yeah, [they said it]," Westbrook said. It's like, 'OK, now I got to fight against this made-up story. "I think it's unfortunate, to be honest, because I've never had an issue with any of my coaches before," Westbrook said on Monday after his exit interview with the Lakers' front office.

The Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook talked about Vogel: "I think it's unfortunate, to be honest ... I've never had an issue with any player, any coach, ...

Just one day after finishing the 2021-22 regular season, the Indiana Pacers have been linked to Russell Westbrook in a potential offseason trade.

Should Indiana make Brogdon available in trade talks, there will be multiple teams showing interest in him as a veteran guard that can play on- or off-the-ball. However, trading away Hield and Brogdon to the Lakers for Westbrook and a future first-round pick does not seem to make much sense for the Indiana Pacers as a whole, especially given their stance on not wanting to rebuild. Heading into the offseason, the Pacers will be faced with some challenges in terms of building around Tyrese Haliburton and a recent report suggests that Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook could be on their monitor.
