A Lakers Nation podcast listener suggested the Lakers could use a retired Russell Westbrook as emergency guard depth with Collin Sexton out injured.
Podcast host Trevor Lane agreed Westbrook would still outplay what the Lakers' reserve guards showed, but called any actual pursuit unlikely. Westbrook, 37, retired after turning down reported offers and has given no indication of wanting to return.
Zach Randolph said on the 'Out The Mud' podcast that Russell Westbrook could reverse his retirement, claiming he 'got a lot left in him.' Randolph, citing a conversation with Westbrook's brother, suggested Miami could be a good landing spot alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Kings want a veteran guard behind rookie Darius Acuff Jr., and Jake Fischer says a Russell Westbrook reunion is a live option. Westbrook averaged 15.2 points, 6.7 assists and 5.4 rebounds in Sacramento last season.
The Kings are looking for an experienced point guard to help bring along rookie Darius Acuff Jr., according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
