But the latest trade rumor surrounding the Lakers guard has fans talking.

According to Shams Charania, the Lakers have discussed a three-team deal with the Jazz and Timberwolves.

[{"selector":"#anim-28c7bd8d-1a18-438a-b5f2-6a2293b083d6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.666939326222924%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-91ee50e4-5f75-4202-9cb9-c87e8bc19d36","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-126.49254%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d06ab1c4-a1d8-4af7-9976-c0af01bbbbca","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-466252a5-0449-4e8b-a814-61c9dd963e28","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The deal would see the Lakers acquire D'Angelo Russell, the Timberwolves receive Mike Conley Jr.

[{"selector":"#anim-d74797bf-7c26-4f73-83a4-2f1f1e445dc9 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.666939326222924%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-47358c55-c1e4-4d30-9cce-a9356dda5562","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-126.49254%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dd0e5f27-3a3e-407a-9d20-1f5dc3a2e486","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d07901d8-7d0d-4146-bea0-d53c476ca0d8","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

and the Jazz receive Russell Westbrook with draft compensation.

Westbrook has a history of incidents with fans in Utah, and one fan brought the Jazz's irony into a potential trade.

[{"selector":"#anim-b454c12c-d7e2-49ac-b71f-ead6b8e800c5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-30.666939326222924%, 0, 0) translate(-25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1462238c-d9ca-41cf-916c-c0944d0c1483","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-127.23881%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ec2e84a2-a8b1-488c-b5a5-439d52725491","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fcd67db4-8e2b-463e-9074-3eb20fd41229","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Some fans hoped that Westbrook and the Jazz fans would be able to repair their relationship.

Another fan said that the trade only benefits the Lakers. "Both the Jazz and the Wolves are worse off after this."
