NBA basketball continues nonstop regarding its movements. In the first instance due to the completion of his Draft, then due to the bombing of Kevin Durant and his departure from the Brooklyn Nets.

However, despite having opted for his $37 million dollar option and one more season, it has not been an impediment for him to there is a new chance.
According to Yahoo Sports, both organizations are currently in a possible exchange involving the Australian and versatile Russell Westbrook, who was a real disappointment for the Lakers last season .
Likewise, Irving’s decision to change venues came after his teammate Kevin Durant demanded that he go to another team. In other words, neither Durant wants to be in New York anymore, nor does the Australian want to be alone on the court next season.
On the other hand, LeBron James has been one of those who has carried out several close-ups with Irving so that he puts on the gold and purple uniform and thus fight for the championship ring; remembering that they were both teammates on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Westbrook, for his part, was not the player they expected so much when he arrived in Los Angeles. However, a major obstacle to a possible transfer is his record of $47 million dollars. Although, if a barter is carried out, both organizations will assume the millions that each player receives.
