The Los Angeles Lakers are still pursuing a Russell Westbrook trade and have continued talking with the San Antonio Spurs on a potential deal, according to LJ Ellis of SpursTalk.

Amid earlier rumors that Westbrook would likely be staying put on the Lakers, negotiations with the Spurs for the nine-time All-Star remain “alive.” The Spurs’ interest in an expiring contract is no surprise as they have made their intention to be sellers ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline quite clear. They have shopped both center Jakob Poeltl and wing Josh Richardson.
