Lakers call a lifeline and get the only offer they can for Westbrook. Theis is not a good fit in Houston and could actually help this Laker team. DJ has helped some w the bench units in Houston, but in this scenario, Houston is opting to go fully into the youth movement. This also give LA a little more flexibility in trades allowing them to trade one of Nunn/Tht/Augustin in another trade.
The Rockets have a new vet to ride the Bench in Westbrook. He’d presumably get bought out assuming he’s willing to leave a chunk of change on the table. Dj and Bradley would likely get bought out as well or just expire
**after further reviewing this, Houston should probably have the rights to pick swaps in 24 or 26 imo
