ESPN Sources: Three-team trade is largely hinging on how Minnesota values D’Angelo Russell in potential deal and their return of draft assets. Lakers and Jazz have significant deal structure in place, but Minnesota has been engaged elsewhere on Russell too.

D-Lo on his way back to the Lakers

Rui Hachimura, D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, all 26 years old or younger. Lakers acquired all four for a single first round pick and 4 seconds.

Ok rob I see you. 🥳

Thoughts on the trade? I'm happy with it for sure. Gets overshadowed by the Suns picking up KD though fml lol

DLo and Beasley gives us some MUCH needed spacing and 3pt shooting. Vandy will provided some good defense & rebounding. Gonna be interesting to see the rotations now though.. I really dislike coach Hams rotations in general, I feel like this will test his coaching for sure lol

DLo/Reaves/Rui/LBJ/AD
Dennis/Malik/Lonnie/Vandy/TB

TBJ/Wenyen/Pat Pev

Fuck Pat Bev. Ship his ass out imo lol

Wish we could get Wenyen some minutes. He always plays with heart and passion that the team lacks. Troy Brown has been playing solid lately too but I suspect he'll lose a bunch of his minutes.

Wouldn't be surprised to see another move(s) today. Maybe Lonnie gets shipped out?

Finally, some good news. Lakers getting it done.

Losing TB but acquiring Mo Bamba! I'll take that all day.

TB lack of interior defense hurt us for sure tbh. He was hot/cold but I think Bamba can space the floor nearly as well and is a far superior interior defender.

Losing Pat Bev is an addition by subtraction lol

I love it
A+
These trades gives life on a kyrie SnT lol.. (keep the dream alive)
We have shooters now and a point guard that can hit open shots/make plays. D.Russ shooting 39% from the 3. Hes gonna be nice with AD in PnR action.
Malik Beasley and D’Angelo Russell are both top 15 in total 3s made this season. Vanderbilt seems very versatile and can guard 2-4. In addition, we got Mo Bamba... Don't know much bout him and his interior game but heard he can space the floor and hit open 3s.
