Lakers trade Russ in three-team deal

A massive three-team deal is at work between the Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Utah Jazz.

According to ESPN’s senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, the deal will send Russell Westbrook and a lightly protected 2027 LA first-round pick to Utah, Mike Conley and picks to Minnesota, and D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt to Los Angeles.

The development happened a day after LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the no. 1 spot in the all-time scoring list where they saw the OKC Thunder winning in the end.

Currently, Westbrook, who is coming off the bench for LA, is averaging 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per game but this Lakers experiment remained unsuccessful as they continue to stay behind in the NBA standings.

Meanwhile, Russell’s output in Minny is at 17.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 6.2 assists.

Although they are producing almost equal output, Russell is shooting on a much-higher percentage at 46.5% compared to the 41.7% of Westbrook.

The trade will also send the former no. 2 overall pick to return to the Lakers, the team that drafted him in 2015.

Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby overlooked as Durant hypes Tatum

As the Boston Celtics won vs Phoenix (127 – 112) last March  15, 2024, NBA superstar Kevin Durant hyped Tatum as the one who will control the league for the next 10 or 12 years.

Despite the outstanding performance of Joel Hans Embiid Philadelphia 76ers, Doncic  Luka Mavericks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks, Victor Wembanyama Spurs and others, Durant still saw Celtic power forward Jayson Christophe Tatum as the best.

Durant said after the Wednesday practice that Tatum is consistent all year and assumed him as the legit candidate.

“Putting up a high number of points. Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.” Durant remarked.
