Lot of lakers rumors swirling around - decent chance a trade goes down b4 the deadline.
Will like to see Pat Bev off the team. Need to move Westbrook's expiring contract as well.
Utah, Toronto, and Spurs are linked to various deals.

The Lakers are officially linked to FVV. - @JakeLFischer

Other reports have also linked the Lakers with FVV's teammates — Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby. pic.twitter.com/3QhtPX6pXW
Not sure it'll be enough - but I'd put every draft pick on the table. Any way Lakers can get OG and GTJ with Lebron and AD - I'm doing it. I prefer them over FVV but either of the 3 will be a significant upgrade.

D'Lo Beasley & Vanderbilt - that'll be a solid return depending on draft picks being sent out. If it's just 1 first and maybe a 2nd or two - then very good value.
If it's only 1st in this deal - then I move the other frp for one more shooter. If either of the Bogdanovics are available - I want one.

Dlo
Beasley
Vanderbilt
Need a Bogdanovic

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. https://t.co/USuWPn1Zn0

For once - Pelinka didn't get fleeced.

Beasley is your best pickup imo. He will give you that JR Smith type guy that playoff contenders need. I'm personally not huge on Dlo but he's not a bad pickup by any stretch and Vando will be a huge energy guy. As much as I hate to say it Lakers crushed it here.

Acquiring Russell Westbrook is one of the biggest mistakes in the history of the Lakers. Dumping him with a protected first for this haul of three players might just save their season.

Jarred Vanderbilt provides excellent defensive versatility, connective passing, and solid… https://t.co/ZEzZDRh94g

Love that trade for the Lakers.

Not sure for Wolves.
I thought Jazz would get more than just one first for Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt.
LA looks like clear winners here.
Have to agree. Rare win for Pelinka.

Holy Fuuuuk
This trade keeps getting better for the Lakers!
Wow. This means 2029 frp available to be traded.

An important note here: If not conveyed in 2027 -- i.e. if it falls into the top-4 -- the pick immediately converts to a 2027 2nd round pick, sources say. No other future Lakers first-round picks encumbered. https://t.co/I5CBwnTY05

Really excited about getting Vanderbilt. He's like poor man's Draymond Green. Can guard 2 thru 5 - can handle the rock a little bit - can pass in the half court - can attack in transition - he's exactly the kind of player Lakers don't have but you need to win physical games. Best thing is - he's only 23 - so he's gonna better.
