Even when the latest rumors had Russell Westbrook staying in Los Angeles, ESPN reporter Leonardo Pagnatti Jr. has announced that the Lakers and Pacers will be closing the long-rumored trade.

This means that even when Westbrook has improved his performances and has been an integral part of the Lakers in starting to turn things around and has become a fan-favorite, he will be gone soon anyways.

More Lakers news:

The report has the Lakers closing the deal with Indiana involving Westbrook, the famous two future 1st round picks. In exchange for Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, and a coming 2nd. 

If this becomes true, the dream of many Lakers fans will finally come true, but it will be seen how this news can affect tonight's game performance for Turner and Hield.

Other reports have the trade to be potential, but for Pelinka to wait

Also, other pieces have GM Rob Pelinka waiting on a deal. Still, it is probably to happen, as Pelinka was seeing flying to Indiana earlier this month, so it is a strong possibility.
