Los Angeles Lakers Receive: F Matisse Thybulle, G Jaden Springer, G/F Furkan Korkmaz
Philadelphia 76ers Receive: G Patrick Beverley
In this trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers, both teams are accomplishing what they are reportedly looking to do.
Los Angeles needs to add more NBA-level talent to its depth chart, while Philadelphia wants to clear money to get under the luxury tax line.
Matisse Thybulle is in the final year of his rookie contract, while Furkan Korkmaz is signed through 2024 and Jaden Springer’s rookie contract runs through 2025.
Thybulle and Korkmaz have played rotation minutes in their career and would bring defense and shooting to a team that certainly could use more.

Patrick Beverley, on the other hand, is on an expiring deal, something that the 76ers would likely covet as they are hovering just above the luxury tax line. He has not been a good fit with the Lakers, struggling across the board with a career-low shooting percentage.
