Yahoo says that the Nets are demanding Joe Harris, straight outta ankle surgery, also be part of the deal. Harris is owed almost $39m over the next 2 years.

Kyrie is to make $36.5m in 2022-23, while Westbrook is making $47m.

The Lakers want it to be Kyrie & Seth Curry for Westbrook. Curry is making just $8.5m. Nets aren't going for that -- at least not right now.

Not sure how Lebron thinks that trading one head case for another is going to bring a championship to LA, but okay. Also, note that Lebron turns 38 this December.
Westbrook straight sucks now, never could add any nuance to his game other than full charge ahead. I still respect how he gives it 100% every time, even if at the detriment to his team.

Kyrie is a straight lunatic but still amazing at times. Completely responsible for destroying the Nets.

If the Blazers were forced to take one of them in a vacuum I would want Westbrook 100%. Don't want a locker room cancer.
The real concern is playing out his option, he might be sane for a minute and then you give him $250 million and he’s just as nuts the next year. He didn’t get extended, right? Just opted in?

For the Lakers, obviously Kyrie is better option and just hope you get lucky for a few months given the sand in Lebrons hour glass is almost out, and Westbrook is legit bad.
