The Los Angeles Lakers are a team that everyone will be keeping an eye on this upcoming NBA offseason. There could be a lot of changes for the purple and gold as the front office and coaching staff could be overhauled along with the roster.

The one player that seems likeliest to be on the move during the offseason is point guard Russell Westbrook. Rob Pelinka took a major gamble acquiring him from the Washington Wizards, essentially capping out and using all of the team’s resources to do so. It has not panned out as hoped, as the Lakers are going to fight and claw just to make the NBA Play-In Tournament.

While Westbrook is far from the only reason the team has struggled, as injuries have been a big problem as well, his fit alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis was always a questionable one. As the season played out, the issues many people predicted would occur came to fruition.

If Los Angeles wants any hope of getting things back on track, moving on from Westbrook is a must. The two sides are reportedly ready to part ways, but that is easier said than done. How many teams are going to be legitimately interested in acquiring Russell Westbrook?
