3 years agoThe Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards are reportedly deep in talks to send Wizards guard Russell Westbrook to the Lakers for a package that would include Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and a first round pick. The deal isn't official yet and things could potentially fall apart still, but it sounds more and more like Westbrook will be plying his trade in Staples Center next season. It's too early to know how this deal would impact the fantasy outlook of the players sent to Washington, especially with the Wizards still potentially looking to deal Bradley Beal away. On the Lakers side, this is a weird fit, but Westbrook would be able to relieve some of LeBron James' on-ball minutes. A triple-double machine, he'd likely be counted on to play heavy minutes on a Lakers team that could have depth concerns next season, making him an intriguing early-round fantasy pick, even with James and Anthony Davis there.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
