Russ has been awful, and the Lakers are down bad. Pelinka has been calling every team in the NBA offering THT, Nunn, and a FRP and everyone with a brain cell is blocking his number. Lakers desperate to save their hopes of winning another title with Lebron trade for John Wall, a point guard who can actually play defense and not turn the ball over every possession. In exchange the Rockets take back Russ and immediately buy him out so he can sign with the team of his choosing and to compensate they also receive two SRPs. Additionally, the Rockets send Eric Gordon for THT and the Lakers 2027 FRP giving the Lakers a great scorer and a solid defender to help fix their dog shit defense. Rockets then flip THT to the also rebuilding Thunder for their SRP in 2022. Assuming pick horny Presti is willing to give up even a single pick I think this is a trade that benefits everyone involved
