The Lakers are shaking things up at point guard. While the Russell Westbrook–Kyrie Irving rumors are seemingly on hold, Los Angeles decided to beef up its backcourt, acquiring veteran guard Patrick Beverley from the Jazz in exchange for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson. Beverley is on his third team this offseason after previously being traded to Utah in the Rudy Gobert deal. THT signed a three-year deal last summer that includes a player option for next season. Johnson, 26, is a lottery pick who initially joined the Lakers on a 10-day contract last December.
