Lakers Rumors: D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley & Jarred ... (LakersNation.com)

The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt in a three-team trade for Russell Westbrook.

It’s the best way to watch player interviews, exclusive coverage from events, participate in live shows, and more! It was reported earlier in the season that the Westbrook averaged 17.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and 7.2 assists during his time with the Lakers. While he has worked to improve his outside shooting, what Vanderbilt gives the Lakers is one of the best options they could have at defending some of the bigger wings around the league. Russell is averaging 17.9 points and 6.2 assists this season, being capable of operating both on and off the ball. Making trades aren’t easy in the NBA, especially when teams are up against a deadline.

Why Did Jazz Trade Conley, Beasley, Others For Westbrook? (KSL Sports)

Why did the Utah Jazz trade Mike Conley, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker for Russell Westbrook?

I project the Rockets to have $59.1M in space. By comparison, the Jazz would have a 34.8 percent chance of drafting in the top four if they were to finish with the sixth-worst record in the league, and a 65.2 chance of drafting 6-10. That pick is top 10 protected, meaning it will remain with the Jazz if it falls in the first 10 picks of the draft next summer, or will go to Oklahoma City if it lands between 11-30. Now, the Jazz have a chance to drop in the standings to better improve their lottery odds. Currently, the Jazz owe their 2023 first-round pick to the Thunder after sending it to Oklahoma City in a deal including Derrick Favors. Prior to the trade, the Jazz sat in the 10th spot in the West, one game below .500. In addition to the draft picks, the Jazz have also freed up significant cap space this summer with the trade. In total, the Jazz own 15 first-round picks outright after Wednesday’s trade, and a 16th depending on where they finish in the standings between 2024-2026 with the pick they owe to the Oklahoma City Thunder from the Derrick Favors trade. That’s a nearly unrivaled package of picks that will allow the Jazz to acquire significant talent in the coming seasons. Regardless, the Jazz have another high-ceiling trade piece in the Lakers’ pick that they can use to acquire more talent, or pair with other picks to move up in the draft. The prized piece in the Jazz trade is the 2027 pick from the Lakers that is top-4 protected. In the deal, the Jazz will send Conley, Alexander-Walker, and two second-round picks to the Minnesota Timberwolves, while Beasley and Vanderbilt will go to the Lakers.
