Utah Jazz Receive: G Russell Westbrook, F Talen Horton-Tucker, 2027 First-Round Pick
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Mike Conley, F Bojan Bogdanovic, F Juancho Hernangomez
Despite the injury concerns of Anthony Davis over the years, Rudy Gobert is not the name that will be acquired for Russell Westbrook.
Instead, the Los Angeles Lakers would be able to land a replacement point guard and one that might fit better offensively.
Mike Conley re-signed with the Utah Jazz last offseason to the tune of three years and $68 million. He had no interest in leaving Utah even after opting out of his deal.
Now, he could be on his way to the Lakers, along with Bojan Bogdanovic. The Jazz have also put the forward on the market to unload the final year of his deal.
