The Lakers dramatically upgraded their 3-point shooting, maintained ballhandling/playmaking and added a rangy forward who will help defensively and on the glass. They did all that by including only one 1st, which they were able to protect (1-4). This trade is a win.
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
