NBA Trade Rumors:Rudy Gobert And John Wall Heading To Lakers, D'Angelo Russell To Wizards?

Los Angeles Lakers' point guard D'Angelo Russell has become a regular in the NBA trade rumor mills. Reports have it that Russell is heading to Washington Wizards while John Wall and Rudy Gobert join Lakers.

Some sources claim that there will be a potential swap between Los Angeles Lakers and Washington Wizards. According to Christian Post, D'Angelo Russell is joining Wizards in the upcoming NBA season. Meanwhile, John Wall will replace Russell's spot in Lakers.

D'Angelo Russell has averaged 13.2 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. In fact, he took the limelight after Kobe Bryant's exit. So it is difficult to think of Lakers trading for Russell.

In a previous report from Parent Herald, Luke Walton revealed that they have a big loss after losing Kobe Bryant to retirement. However, he believes that D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle could lead Lakers this NBA season.

Meanwhile, Wizard's point guard John Wall is a superstar and pro on the basketball court. Wall is a three-time NBA All-Star and has won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest Dunker of the Night in 2014. John Wall averaged 19.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game last NBA season.

Looking at their records and experience, there is no doubt that if the trade will be pushed, Los Angeles Lakers would benefit more than Wizards. Obviously, John Wall is better than D'Angelo Russell.

Los Angeles Lakers have a number of scorers including Julius Randle, Brandon Xavier and Jordan Clarkson. John Wall is expected to have a huge impact on the team's offensive end. Wall is a pro but remains an underrated perimeter defender.

Meanwhile, NBA trade rumors also suggest that Rudy Gobert is heading to Los Angeles Lakers too. Lakers are reportedly interested in acquiring Gobert. The report notes that the trade could be pursued if Lakers send Jordan Clarkson or D'Angelo Russell to Utah Jazz.

Is Los Angeles Lakers really trading D'Angelo Russell? Will Wizards go for a trade involving Russell and John Wall? Will Lakers swap Clarkson or Russell to Utah Jazz's Rudy Gobert? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
