Jovan Buha of The Athletic discussed the Los Angeles Lakers’ lack of interest in Julius Randle in a breakdown of the different pathways that the team may take from here on out.

“The Lakers aren’t interested in taking back Julius Randle from the Knicks, considering his contract (three years plus a player option on the fourth year) and less-than-ideal fit with [Anthony] Davis and [LeBron] James,” Buha wrote. “The [San Antonio] Spurs don’t have much to offer aside from absorbing [Russell] Westbrook’s contract, which is certainly beneficial for the Lakers, but not at the cost of two first-round picks.”
