Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Russell Westbrook, G Kendrick Nunn, C DeAndre Jordan
Boston Celtics Receive: C Al Horford, G Dennis Schroder, G Josh Richardson, F Juancho Hernangomez
The clear focus for this NBA trade scenario would involve Russell Westbrook being sent from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Boston Celtics—ending the ongoing Lakers’ experiment of pairing three superstar talents.
In the process of moving on from Westbrook, the Lakers would also include DeAndre Jordan in a deal. There has recently been reports about Los Angeles looking to move on from him, so this would be achieved here.
The Lakers would get Dennis Schroder back into the fold after he opted to sign with the Celtics in free agency. There has already been talk about Boston being unlikely to have the landscape to re-sign him, so including him in this trade makes sense.
The Celtics would receive Kendrick Nunn as well in this trade to restore some backcourt depth after parting with both Schroder and Josh Richardson.
