Vanderbilt, 23, is averaging 8.3 points and eight rebounds per game.

The Lakers have reportedly agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Utah Jazz, ending his tenure in Los Angeles.

The good news is that the Lakers have moved on from Russ and now can attempt to move back into the playoffs with a team that is better than it was yesterday. The bad news is they are worse off after Russ than they were before Russ, and wasted a year and a half of LeBron’s remaining good years and Still, the Lakers can’t go back in time and change the past.

The draft compensation for the deal is also rather favorable to the Lakers. Adding in Beasley and Vanderbilt, the former another great 3-point shooter and the latter a wing player that can improve the team’s rebounding and size. DLo’s return is an improbable one for the Lakers, as he was not a player that was linked to the team prior to Wednesday’s deal.

The Lakers on Wednesday acquired D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt in a trade with the Jazz and Timberwolves.

The Jazz are taking on Westbrook’s contract, which expires after this season, in exchange for another first-round pick. The Lakers badly needed some help and depth and have added that. The Lakers on Wednesday acquired D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt in a trade with the Jazz and Timberwolves.

The Utah Jazz were part of a three-team deal with Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Vanderbilt and Beasley both came to Utah from Minnesota in the blockbuster Rudy Gobert trade last summer. "He's really good at communicating with me and then taking that communication to the rest of the team when he's on the floor," Jazz coach Will Hardy said about Conley. And it's a bet that the 2027 Lakers pick will be quite valuable.

“ESPN Sources: The Lakers are finalizing deal to land Minnesota's D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jarred Vanderbilt in trade ...

Why did the Utah Jazz trade Mike Conley, Malik Beasley, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker for Russell Westbrook?

I project the Rockets to have $59.1M in space. By comparison, the Jazz would have a 34.8 percent chance of drafting in the top four if they were to finish with the sixth-worst record in the league, and a 65.2 chance of drafting 6-10. That pick is top 10 protected, meaning it will remain with the Jazz if it falls in the first 10 picks of the draft next summer, or will go to Oklahoma City if it lands between 11-30. Now, the Jazz have a chance to drop in the standings to better improve their lottery odds. Currently, the Jazz owe their 2023 first-round pick to the Thunder after sending it to Oklahoma City in a deal including Derrick Favors. Prior to the trade, the Jazz sat in the 10th spot in the West, one game below .500. In addition to the draft picks, the Jazz have also freed up significant cap space this summer with the trade. In total, the Jazz own 15 first-round picks outright after Wednesday’s trade, and a 16th depending on where they finish in the standings between 2024-2026 with the pick they owe to the Oklahoma City Thunder from the Derrick Favors trade. That’s a nearly unrivaled package of picks that will allow the Jazz to acquire significant talent in the coming seasons. Regardless, the Jazz have another high-ceiling trade piece in the Lakers’ pick that they can use to acquire more talent, or pair with other picks to move up in the draft. The prized piece in the Jazz trade is the 2027 pick from the Lakers that is top-4 protected. In the deal, the Jazz will send Conley, Alexander-Walker, and two second-round picks to the Minnesota Timberwolves, while Beasley and Vanderbilt will go to the Lakers.

Taking a look at the Lakers roster and the projected starting lineup after trading Russell Westbrook for D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and more.

The Lakers have seriously upgraded and have a new starting lineup because of it. LeBron James will clearly start at three and it is a bit unclear who they would start at the four. The Lakers have decided to go all-in with their two superstars, James and Anthony Davis.

• The Lakers' next game is on Thursday, but it would be surprising if Beasley would be able to go. Once he's up to speed with the Lakers, Beasley will likely vie for a backup role on the wing, but he could also push to start.
