Sources: Lakers Trading Russell, Mozgov for Lopez, Pick

The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Timofey Mozgov and D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets for Brook Lopez and 27th pick Thursday, sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.

For the Lakers, this is longer-term play to clear space for Paul George and LeBron James pursuit. Lonzo Ball on way at No.2 https://t.co/KxfdEuAUO0
