湖人在经历了一场极其令人失望的赛季后，正在寻求改善，他们以一个明星云集的阵容错过了季后赛。对拉塞尔-威斯布鲁克来说，不幸的是，他是湖人队成绩不佳的原因之一，他是球队休赛期改善计划的一部分，但不是他希望的方式。根据ESPN记者乔纳森-吉沃尼的最新湖人队传闻，洛杉矶队向印第安纳步行者队提出用威斯布鲁克换取后卫马尔科姆-布罗格登的交易。
根据传闻，湖人队向步行者队提供威斯布鲁克、塔伦-霍顿-塔克和2026年首轮选秀权，以换取布罗格登。印第安纳拒绝了这一提议。
步行者队正在寻求重组，他们的首发控球后卫是崭露头角的泰瑞斯-哈里伯顿。威斯布鲁克的年龄是33岁，合同是4710万美元的球员选项，不适合印第安纳的时间表或深度表。
这对湖人队来说是不幸的，因为布罗格登本来更适合与勒布朗-詹姆斯和安东尼-戴维斯并肩作战，而威斯布鲁克则更适合。
步行者队的后卫在过去两个赛季向前迈进了一大步，场均20.4分5.9助5.2版，以及2.2个三分球，三分投篮命中率为36.6%。
他还表现出了出色的控球能力，这是威斯布鲁克在洛杉矶的第一个赛季以及他的职业生涯中所挣扎的问题。
如果湖人队真的想转移威斯布鲁克，他们将不得不回到绘图板上。

Rumor: Lakers’ Russell Westbrook-Malcolm Brogdon trade offer the Pacers rejected
原文：
The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to improve after an immensely disappointing campaign that saw them miss the playoffs with a star-studded roster. Unfortunately for Russell Westbrook, one of the poster boys of the underachieving Lakers, he is part of the team’s offseason plan to improve, but not the way he would like. According to the latest Lakers rumors from ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, Los Angeles offered a Westbrook trade to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for guard Malcolm Brogdon.
Per the rumors, the Lakers offered Westbrook, Talen Horton-Tucker and a 2026 first-round pick to the Pacers for Brogdon. Indiana rejected the offer.
The Pacers, who are looking to retool, have budding star Tyrese Haliburton as their starting point guard. Westbrook’s age, 33 and contract, $47.1 million player option, don’t fit into Indiana’s timeline- or depth chart.
It’s unfortunate for the Lakers, as Brogdon would have been a more suitable fit then Westbrook alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
The Pacers guard has taken a big step forward in the last two seasons, averaging 20.4 points, 5.9 assists, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.2 three-pointers made per game on 36.6 percent shooting from beyond the arc.
He has also shown an ability to excel off the ball, something Westbrook struggled with in his first season in Los Angeles- and in his career.
If the Lakers are serious about moving Westbrook, they’ll have to go back to the drawing board.
