Sometimes, a solution is obvious. That doesn’t mean it’s necessarily easy. NBA teams can be faced with the same dilemma.

Suppose your relationship isn’t working. People will suggest that you should leave your partner. That may be obvious – but is it easy?

For example, look at the Los Angeles Lakers. Fans across the league know they ought to move Russell Westbrook. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to do.

In fact, the Lakers would likely have to attach a first-round pick or two in order to get a deal done.

If this team is going to go that route, they’d better make sure they’re getting the right return.

Could a package that lands them DeMar DeRozan be enough?

Chicago Bulls Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G/F DeMar DeRozan, C Nikola Vucevic
