The performance by top prospect Victor Wembanyama should be a signal to the Pacers: Trade Myles Turner & Buddy Hield for Russell Westbrook. Those Lakers picks don’t matter as much as trying to tank to raise those lottery odds. Turner & Hield absolutely do not help with tanking. — Calculator Watch Sports (@CalcWatchSports) October 5, 2022 The post Performance by Victor Wembanyama should be signal to Pacers appeared first on Lakerholics ..read more
