No the lakers are not getting an all nba player and two solid rotation players for him, a busted prospect and some late firsts.

Sounds like they could move him, they just don't want to include any draft picks.

(unless the Lakers want to throw in a first-round pick or good young player as a sweetener — and they do not).

Westbrook, 2 1st round picks, and a young player on a reasonable contract is not the same thing as just Westbrook.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Tht is a 27% shooter from three that averages almost as many turnovers as assists. He makes 10 million next year and has an 11 million player option after that. If he was on the Celtics you would be screaming from the roof tops for us to dump him. But on the lakers it’s a young player on a reasonable contract. It’s honestly just parody at this point.
