Yahoo Movies NBA Twitter reacts to potential Russell Westbrook/D’Angelo Russell trade: ‘Russell is arguably worse than Westbrook’
According to Shams Charania, The Lakers, Jazz and Timberwolves are in discussions on a three-team deal that would send D’Angelo Russell to the Lakers, Russell Westbrook and draft compensation such as a first-round pick to Utah and Mike Conley Jr. to Minnesota.
Russ had a heated exchange with head coach Darvin Ham last night, and today his name is in trade talks between teams.
Here’s what NBA Twitter had to say about it:

Mike Conley forced to work with Gobert' again, D'Angelo Russell back in a Lakers locker room, and Russell Westbrook fighting with Jazz fans full-time. Amazing. https://t.co/VOIkd67bCu

I’m not satisfied with a Russ buyout if Lowry is still on this team. A dedmon salary dump and Russ buyout is a F+ deadline

In three-team deal being discussed between Lakers, Wolves and Jazz, a buyout for Russell Westbrook in Utah would be the likely path, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.

uh oh. Maybe Westbrook to Miami on a buyout is a legit possibility… https://t.co/OuG88765Ms

Look. If the Lakers walk away with D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jared Vanderbilt that’s a win. Especially if the picks they trade are protected. https://t.co/gqmjNdcqIq

Russell, Beasley, and Vanderbilt would be an outstanding haul for the Lakers if they’re able to give up only one future first.
