Nice try, Rob.
On a more serious note... On his contract he is basically a cap dump at this point, so for the Lakers, I don't see a trade out there which improves them, unless you count removing Westbrook an addition by subtraction. Nothing of value other than bad contracts can be acquired in a trade IMO, his value tanked hard.

Negative value... they will have to attach something valuable or absorb something bad to get out from under his contract.

Wall for RW + unprotected pick + Reaves
HOU doesnt need RW and LAL doesnt have choices

Probably would have attach LBJ and picks and even that would be a tough sell.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

They’d have to attach 50% franchise ownership just to salary dump him.

Re: What is the most the Lakers could get in return for Russell Westbrook?
The best they can hope for is another terrible contract where the player perhaps offers a better fit.
There's exactly one out that there matches at least one of the criteria in Wall who's really not that different of a player.
Neither of them is effective playing off the ball, but I would probably give Wall credit for being more capable of being effective in a structured offense.

sometimes I really don't get how teams make decisions. Even casual fans knew this wouldn't work.
wild mismanagement of assets. AD being made of paper doesnt help either.

LeGM wanted Russ over Demar. Said Russ is an alpha and Demar isn’t
No one should trade with the Lakers, let Russ play out his contract there.

This would be legal if the Lakers were worth $8.8 million.

Luol Deng and a dusty case of "Lebron Needs More Help" bumper stickers.
Oh wait, they're already paying Deng.

Kevin Love and Rubio's contract for Westbrook and Nunn.
$49M get passed around.. Cavs get a Sexton replacement. Love goes to LA to play with Lebron again for a couple of years.

Sam Presti could probably arrange a homecoming for Russ if the Lakers threw in a couple first round picks.
