Hornets have expressed interest in Russel Westbrook This trade benefits all sides because the Hornets get their guy as well as a stretch 5 in Christian Wood that addresses their Center problem, and he can play well with Russ. Lakers get off Russ and reload with a ton of depth and shooting to play with Lebron and AD and the Rockets free up minutes for ALperen Sengun and get a valuable FRP and a project guy in Kai Jones
