According to TMZ Sports: Russell Westbrook’s days as a Laker have come to an end — L.A. just finalized a trade to send the superstar point guard to the Utah Jazz in a three-team deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Lakers are sending Russ and a 2027 first-round pick (1-4 protected) to the Jazz in exchange for D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and Jarred Vanderbilt, according to Shams Charania.

Meanwhile, Utah’s Mike Conley Jr. will join Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Rudy Gobert in Minnesota … as well as a second-round pick.

The Lakers acquired Russ in 2021 in a trade with the Wizards … which sent Kyle Kuzma, Montrezl Harrell, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to Washington in exchange for the 2017 MVP.

Westbrook’s last game with the Purple and Gold was Tuesday night against the Thunder … when LeBron James surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
