That's the problem. They cannot rush it. KD is such a gem, you cannot just give him away for anyone. This is like an investment made by the Brooklyn Nets and they know they can exhange him for something fair or more.
It's not their problem if other teams could not equal the proposed exchange that they want.
The amount of money the Nets had spent when Durant was not playing was enormous so it would be best if they could maximized the trade that they want.
2 years, they paid him 2 years without play time.

I really think the Brooklyn Nets will surely want to get back their investment on getting Kevin Durant, so they are very desperate on getting him traded for a higher price and some players on the team, which is reasonable, in my opinion, but Donovan Mitchell is not a bad trade for the Brooklyn Nets if they can get a trade with the Suns, with Kevin Durant so it is really not a bad idea, but Mitchell wants to be on the New York Knicks, that is why this trade is pretty much hard to take, that will be in Fruition when the Suns can get Mitchell from the Jazz,

If Westbrook plays like he did last season, there is no chance any team will offer him another maximum 5-year contract. However, Westbrook still has a player option on his current contract, and he will likely use it to earn another $47 million next season. The problem is that if he stays with the Lakers, it will only be the best option for him, but not for the team.

It will be a win for him, but not for the Los Angeles Lakers, this is very depressing to hear that the triple-double king is now the center of conversation among the Lakers fans, they are saying that they don't want Russell Westbrook on the team anymore, hearing such things will surely make him depressed, I think he needs to pick up his self and prove his worth next season, but if he would play just the same as the last season then this is going to be his last, in my opinion,

Westbrook is 33 years old already and near to past his prime. He is athletic I agree with that and yes he is one of the most athletic and most explosive guards in the NBA. The problem is that, he doesn't fit with the system.

Remember when Westbrook is with Harden in the Rockets, many expected that they will be an explosive duo at that season but what happened? It's a disaster and they aren't a good duo together. Same situation here but this time it's 3 of them. I don't know but LBJ and Russ kinda have the same way of playing. Scoring and passing and maybe that is also a reason why we don't see any chemistry with the team. No one wants to make adjustment for the betterment of the team and look how they played this whole season. I don't think some push is necessary right now because I think the Lakers are doing everything just to trade him. On the other hand, Westbrook also wants to be out in the Lakers as well and play with another team.

He is already 33 and I think he can still push his limits any further, I don't really like Russell Westbrook because he doesn't really fit well if a team has their own superstar, I think if the Brooklyn Nets, Kevin Durant, and Kyrie Irving was traded and gone to the other teams then I think he can surely fit the bill in filling in the Brooklyn Nets, while he is the only Superstar on that team his other teammates can now focus on defense and a little support on his offense, I think he wants to be a one-man army and be relevant again,
