There has been a lot written about the possibility of the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets working out a Russell Westbrook-John Wall swap ahead of the 2022 NBA trade deadline. While the trade didn’t actually come to fruition, new details continue to emerge about the discussions.

However, Los Angeles wasn’t interested.
