Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Kyrie Irving, F Joe Harris

Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Russell Westbrook, F Talen Horton-Tucker, 2027 First-Round Pick, 2029 First-Round Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers have tried to make some moves this season, but nothing has come to fruition yet. They will continue pursuing a deal with the Brooklyn Nets and this is likely the best deal that they can offer.

If Brooklyn decides to move on from Irving, this kind of trade is one they should accept in a heartbeat. They reportedly aren’t interested in accepting two first-round picks from the Lakers, but this is the best Los Angeles can do.

Also looking to part ways with Joe Harris, he is included in this deal heading west to the Lakers. He and Irving are two significant upgrades for the Los Angeles rotation.

Heading to Brooklyn along with the first-round picks are Russell Westbrook and Talen Horton-Tucker. Horton-Tucker has a lot of upside with his developing playmaking skills and potential defensively.
