After Westbrook opted in to the final year of his $47.1 million contract in late June, Pelinka got busy working the phones. He hoped to find a trade partner to not only take on Westbrook, but give L.A. back some pieces that could better fit around James and Anthony Davis in the process.

The only problem was that outside of the former MVP's expiring contract -- a big, but potentially useful number for a team hoping to shed long-term salary commitments to free up cap space for free agency hunting in the summer of 2023 and beyond -- L.A. didn't have much else to offer other than their own first-round picks in 2027 and 2029.

The Lakers engaged in trade talks with the Utah Jazz, Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets, sources said, and the conversations often hit a similar snag. Several teams that the Lakers engaged with insisted on L.A. including both of their future first-rounders in a deal; the Lakers were determined to trade only one of the two unless the package would return a can't-miss-talent such as Donovan Mitchell or Kyrie Irving.
