Miami Heat Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2027 First-Round Pick (LAL) 

Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Kyle Lowry, G/F Duncan Robinson, G/F Caleb Martin 

On the other hand, age isn’t the only factor that can derail a player’s career. 

Sometimes, a fatal flaw becomes exposed in their game. Often, that happens in the playoffs. Against the highest levels of competition, under the brightest lights, players are scrutinized more than ever.
