As the news broke, fans were disappointed and came forward with their enraged views online. One of the fans calls the Lakers “arrogant,” while another fan criticized the team by saying, “Just make a move or shut up.”  

Here are some of the reactions from NBA Twitter:

The Los Angeles Lakers have been involved in numerous trade talks in order to fix the team’s shortcomings since the season began. Furthermore, they undoubtedly want to make LeBron James‘ final years memorable, and the greatest way to make it memorable is certainly by winning another championship.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ trade plans

The one player who has likely always been in trade conversations is Russell Westbrook. The Lakers spent a lot of time in the off-season trying to find a trade for Westbrook. And now the nine-time All-Star is looking in good form, having averaged 15 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 19 games so far. However, the Lakers’ current plan is to trade him either for a star player or for a multiplayer haul.

The Lakers will be looking for players who can fill the gaps in the team and upgrade the rotation and transition on the court. The Lakers currently have an 8-12 record for the season so far and sit 13th in the Western Conference table.
