Live Bar Feb. 10 Marc Stein updates the situation regarding the Westbrook & Wall deal.
A person familiar with the matter insisted on Wednesday night local time that unless the Lakers agree to send out the 2027 first round pick, the Rockets will firmly refuse to trade Wall for a deal.
Stein said that after the losing to the Trail Blazers, the Lakers urgently need to readjust the lineup, and Westbrook is often seen as a scapegoat for the team's ills, but there is no indication that the Lakers will be ready to give up the 2027 first-round pick to send Westbrook away, and bet that Wall can make a meaningful impact after missing most of the season.
