The Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday finalized a deal that sent starting point guard D’Angelo Russell to the Los Angeles Lakers and netted point guard Mike Conley, backup guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker and three second-round picks from the Utah Jazz, who received Russell Westbrook and a 2027 first-round pick from the Lakers.
