Another huge deal in the NBA.
After Kyrie Irving surprised everyone and moved to Dallas, tonight (between Wednesday and Thursday) came a triple trade in the best league in the world, centered on: Russell Westbrook moved to Utah, DeAngelo Russell to the Lakers, and Mike Connelly to Minnesota.
Russell will return to the team where he started his career and team up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, perhaps with the goal of pulling the Lakers' cart out of the mud.
Along with him, Malik Beasley and Jared Vanderbilt will also transfer.
Minnesota will get Connelly, Nikhil Walker-Alexander and three future second-round picks.
Utah will receive Russell Westbrook, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Damien Jones and a protected first-round pick from the Lakers in 2027.
According to reports in the US, Westbrook is not expected to play in the Jazz uniform, as they will waive his services and make him a free agent. The candidates to receive him are the Clippers and Chicago Bulls.
