Lakers Might Trade Russell Westbrook To The Miami Heat! Front Office Eyeing Max Strus & Fary Trent jr.

Point guard Russell Westbrook has been a sworn part of the Lakers \’Big Three. However, ever since the Lakers acquired Patrick Beverley after Westbrook\’s disappointing last season, there have been questions about his place on the side. Several NBA sources have reported that the Lakers have been planning to Westbrook for several weeks now. But they have had little success in it, till now. Many big names, like Indiana Pacers, and Charlotte Hornets, have been discussed as potential suitors for Westbrook. But reports are claiming that he may be headed to Miami Heat.

Is Russell Westbrook Going To Miami Heat?

Of all the NBA teams at the beginning of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers have perhaps had the most difficulty. As a result, they are attempting to shake up their squad a little. Given that his trade is reportedly just days away from taking place, Russell Westbrook\’s career with the Los Angeles Lakers may come to an end sooner than expected. 

Russell Westbrook is one of the primary causes of the LA Lakers\’ poor season start and play thus far. As a result, they are already pretty close to the solution. And one of the solutions they envision in Los Angeles is to fire the point guard right away. According to sources, the team has agreed to deal Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson to the Miami Heat.

Are Lakers Targetting Max Strus?

Starting the 2022–23 season abysmally, the Los Angeles Lakers lost all four of their first contests. The team has struggled to make shots from outside consistently, and it established an NBA record for the poorest 3-point shooting average in a four-game span by a team with at least 125 3-point tries. Many people have assumed that they are attempting to strengthen the roster as a result. Aggrieved point guard Russell Westbrook might be traded. And most recently, the Miami Heat joined the picture. These are just a few of the moves that have been suggested.

As per the reports by Heavy.com, the Lakers could pursue Guard Max Strus of the Miami Heat. According to the website\’s unnamed executive, Strus may be an option for the Lakers to trade Russell Westbrook. He has significantly improved the Heat during the previous two years. Before being switched to a reserve position this season, he started most of last season. Through six games, Strus has averaged 13.2 points and 5.6 assists. Most of the Lakers\’ moves would likely be possible over the summer.

A Lakers squad that lacks depth this year would benefit greatly from the addition of many role players who can contribute on both sides of the court. Apart from James, Anthony Davis, and Lonnie Walker IV, Los Angeles has been unable to find any regular scoring production from anyone else.
