Lakers, Jazz and Timberwolves are finalizing trade sending D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt to Los Angeles, Russell Westbrook and first-round pick to Utah and Mike Conley Jr. and second-round pick compensation to Minnesota, sources tell @TheAthletic@Stadium.
Crazy they got that for only 1 pick.. good job by the front office. Filled their 2 biggest needs.. Shooting w/ Beasley and D'lo, particularly movement shooting in Malik.. and defensive versatility/rebounding in Vanderbilt
I’m not even a Lakers fan, but i tip my hat to Russ. He was a great professional this season. Embraced coming off the bench and gave it his all when out there. A huge turnaround from last season, as far as his mindset. Props to him for that.
I wish Russ well. He was never the issue he accepted his position off the bench and played well. Hate the Lakers did this to him. LA front office trash bringing back players they let go
