I don't think many western conference teams want to help LAL - Maybe the only one that makes sense is Dallas, but I highly doubt they send Zinger + DFS or Brunson for WB, it just ruins their defensive presence (but the salary is available at least). I would hard-pass from every other WC team.
Eastern conference teams like TOR/BOS/NYK/ORL/CLE may have a passing interest, but overall it doesn't play well for them because of what each team has to give up in return - which amounts to multiple players - or that these teams have their 1 guards for the future.
You could say that NYK and BOS could use a lead guard like WB, but for $40+ M WB isn't the right way to answer that question. Boston has to send a lot, and probably Brown or Horford, whereas the Knicks have to send Fournier and a variety of other pieces - it's not the worst idea ever, but it isn't a championship move.
The most I can generate is Love + pieces / Zinger + pieces / Fournier + pieces and that's iffy.
Love and KP are playing numerous tiers above Westy. There isnt a chance in hell CLE or DAL move those guys for Russ.
