Uncertainty continues to loom around the LA Lakers' current roster amid the Russell Westbrook trade rumors. The team is exploring trade scenarios for the former league MVP after his underwhelming debut season for the franchise.Kyrie Irving, Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon are among the stars the Lakers are targeting this offseason. Any deal would require them to include Westbrook. Despite these rumors, the Lakers' big three have committed to each other to make their partnership work if Russ stays on the roster.Here's what Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes reported regarding this:"The Los Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled up on a phone conversation the first weekend of NBA Summer League in Las Vegas with each expressing their commitment to one another and vowing to make it work, league sources told Yahoo Sports."While the uncertainty of Westbrook’s future with the Lakers remains, the conversation was organized to make sure all three were on the same page as long as they’re joined together in their pursuit of a championship, sources said."The LA Lakers finished the 2021-22 NBA season with a 33-49 record. It was arguably the most disappointing campaign in franchise history. Despite boasting a squad featuring multiple potential Hall of Famers, the Lakers struggled to make the play-in tournament and eventually the playoffs.Westbrook was criticized the most for LA's debacle. He averaged a decent 18/7/7 on 44% shooting. However, his awkward fit alongside LeBron made it difficult for the Lakers to find the right combinations to win games.LA Lakers fans have leaned towards the franchise opting to trade Russell Westbrook because of their dismal 2021-22 NBA season. As expected, Haynes' latest report wasn't well accepted among the Lakers faithful. One fan wrote on Twitter:"It's still Lakers fans out there who think the Lakers have leverage LMAO gtfoh"Referring to LeBron James' 20th NBA season, another added:"Year 20 down the f**king drain"Here are some of the best reactions:FADE ⓿@FadeAwayLeBron@ChrisBHaynes @YahooSports this is the worst day in the history of america110953@ChrisBHaynes @YahooSports this is the worst day in the history of americaOld Man Mir@Moneymirweather@ChrisBHaynes @YahooSports All of Laker nation after reading this81374@ChrisBHaynes @YahooSports All of Laker nation after reading this https://t.co/ctdScTPVNgClutchPoints@ClutchPointsApp@ChrisBHaynes LeBron, AD, and Russ on the phone:77661@ChrisBHaynes LeBron, AD, and Russ on the phone: https://t.co/Sa1OGrMELpOl’ Man River 🕑@PERKUP23@ChrisBHaynes @YahooSports Are they really committed to each other ?4505@ChrisBHaynes @YahooSports Are they really committed to each other ? https://t.co/D10zExpgrnSam Yeezy@samstaydippedYear 20 down the fucking drain https://t.co/cK80Z70rjz twitter.com/chrisbhaynes/s…Chris Haynes@ChrisBHaynesLos Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled for a phone conversation to confirm their commitment to each other through the uncertainty, league sources told @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/sources-lebron…4511Los Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled for a phone conversation to confirm their commitment to each other through the uncertainty, league sources told @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/sources-lebron…Year 20 down the fucking drain https://t.co/cK80Z70rjz twitter.com/chrisbhaynes/s….@stephspooleanother nightmare season for the lakers?? sign me up lmfaooo https://t.co/p55iEzT6Ug twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/s…Chris Haynes@ChrisBHaynesLos Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled for a phone conversation to confirm their commitment to each other through the uncertainty, league sources told @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/sources-lebron…417Los Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled for a phone conversation to confirm their commitment to each other through the uncertainty, league sources told @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/sources-lebron…another nightmare season for the lakers?? sign me up lmfaooo https://t.co/p55iEzT6Ug twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/s…Zito@_ZeetsLike renewing vows when what you need is a divorce. twitter.com/chrisbhaynes/s…Chris Haynes@ChrisBHaynesLos Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled for a phone conversation to confirm their commitment to each other through the uncertainty, league sources told @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/sources-lebron…22719Los Angeles Lakers’ Big 3 of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook huddled for a phone conversation to confirm their commitment to each other through the uncertainty, league sources told @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/sources-lebron…Like renewing vows when what you need is a divorce. twitter.com/chrisbhaynes/s…LakeShowYo@LakeShowYoLakers front office really saw this and said “run it back”6958747Lakers front office really saw this and said “run it back” https://t.co/A0VdM7nHqnLakeShowYo@LakeShowYoya this team is cooked.

His $47 million salary for next season is also problematic. The LA Lakers lack the cap flexibility to make more moves and don't have many tradeable assets.Westbrook's contract could allow them to make improvements to their roster, but teams have demanded draft compensation from the Lakers in exchange for taking on the former MVP's contract. The Lakers only have two tradeable first-round picks (2027 and 2029). They have been reluctant to offload those in deals centered around Westbrook.Reports suggest it is a stumbling block in their pursuit of Kyrie Irving and the rest of their targets. It is difficult to see the LA Lakers contend for a title with Westbrook on the team.Having said that, Rob Pelinka and company should consider deals that demand only one of their two tradeable first-round picks. That is especially for impact role players that could improve their shot at competing in the stacked Western Conference.
