It will be an embarrassing season for them and they actually need him to be more competitive. The shame would be on Westbrook instead of Lebron. Buy him out doesn’t make anything better
If you can get reasonably usable players by trading him without giving up the picks, great!
The only trade that makes sense is with the Jazz taking on WB. But the lakers getting back garbage.
Jazz first agree to individual trades with their players. Then incorporate LA into it
PHX: Bojan
DAL: Conley and Crowder
DET: Hardaway
UTA: Westbrook and Green
PHX FRP and 2nd’s,
2nd’s from DAL and DET,
2nd’s and a 1st rd pick swap with LAL
LAL: Powell, Saric, Kemba Walker, Noel, Gay, Alexander-Walker
The money lines up. LAL get trash that’s better than WB
