Utah Jazz Receive: G Russell Westbrook, 2026 First-Round Pick (LAL), 2027 First-Round Pick (Swap – LAL), 2029 First-Round Pick (Top 5 Protected – LAL)
Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Mike Conley, F Bojan Bogdanovic, G Patrick Beverley

We already stated that the Los Angeles Lakers could use a new starting point guard. How about two?

Luckily, Beverley is something of a combo guard. In Minnesota last season, he flashed a little more playmaking than we’ve come to expect from him. Still, he’s perfectly content to spot up for three-point attempts and otherwise lock his man down.

Meanwhile, Conley feels like the perfect point guard to pair with LeBron James. Like Beverley, he’s a competent playmaker (in fact, a better one) who’s also capable of spacing the floor when James is controlling the offense.

Finally, Bojan Bogdanovic’s floor spacing will complement James as well. Realistically, getting a more complementary supporting cast around one of the best players in NBA history is the primary objective for the Lakers this season.
