Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Los Angeles Lakers have traded guard D’Angelo Russell, along with Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks, to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. This move revamps the Lakers' roster, aiming to improve their perimeter shooting and defense, while the Nets acquire a playmaking point guard and additional draft capital. Underperforming this season, Russell had lost his starting position, and his departure leaves the Lakers with limited options at point guard. Both teams hope to improve their standings with this trade as the season progresses.
