Russell Westbrook Next Team Odds: Pace Yourself

Russell Westbrook's time with the Lakers is wearing thin. The former MVP has been demoted to a bench role. NBA's trade deadline is on December 15. The Lakers are currently 1-5 and have LeBron James' career ticking away.

Indiana Pacers are the NBA's favorite to sign Russell Westbrook. Last summer, the Lakers were rumored to be interested in a deal with the Pacers, but they turned it down. The Pacers have one of the lowest payrolls and can easily absorb Westbrook's bloated deal.

DraftKings offers two great NBA betting bonuses. New users can bet $5 and get $200 in free bets.

Charlotte Hornets are in a position of regret. They are short on talent and have a chance to bottom out this season. The team is interested in trading Terry Rozier to the Lakers. The Lakers have worse prospects post-LeBron. Charlotte has a better chance of winning a playoff series.

The Spurs are openly tanking for the first time under Pop's watch. They're 5-2 as of writing and their payroll is $96 million. Josh Richardson could be traded to Los Angeles.
