San Antonio Spurs Receive: C/F Anthony Davis, G Kendrick Nunn
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Devin Vassell, C Jakob Poeltl, G Josh Richardson, F Doug McDermott, Significant Draft Capital

Westbrook is the likely candidate to be on the trading block, but Anthony Davis’ injury concerns could also pose a problem.

This would not be a cheap deal but the Spurs have some assets that they could part ways with. It begins with Devin Vassell and Jakob Poeltl.
