3 years agoThe Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards have officially agreed to a trade that will send guard Russell Westbrook to the Lakers for a package that includes Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and the No. 22 pick in this year's draft. The former NBA MVP will join a Lakers team that also includes LeBron James and Anthony Davis. 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 an odd fit, as the team needed shooting more than they needed another ball-handler. But Westbrook will take pressure off of James, which will likely hurt James' fantasy value just a little bit. As for Westbrook, he's been able to be a triple-double machine in basically all of his NBA stops so far and should be an intriguing early-round fantasy pick on a Lakers team with depth concerns, even with James and Davis demanding touches.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
