The Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timber wolves and Utah Jazz are discussing a three-team trade that would send Russell Westbrook and draft compensation to Utah and D'Angelo Russell to Los Angeles, according to Shams Charania and Tony Jones of The Athletic. Utah would receive at least one first-round pick, presumably from the Lakers, in order to make the deal.  According to Charania and Jones, the deal could also send Mike Conley from Utah to Minnesota.

Who says we have to wait until the trade deadline to have trades? The league and its fans were blasted with tweets and text messages on Sunday when the Brooklyn Nets dealt Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks, a move that pairs him with MVP candidate Luka Doncic to create one of the most formidable backcourts in the league. We've got grades , winners and losers and analysis , but that is likely just the first of many transactions as Thursday's trade deadline rapidly approaches. As for this week's NBA Power Ran kings , the trade doesn't really affect them because Irving and the rest of the players in the deal have yet to appear for their new teams, but we've tried to sprinkle some tasty trade deadline morsels into each team's entry. Down to business -- the Milwaukee Bucks aren't messing around, as their seven-game winning streak propelled them to the No. 1 spot this week, overtaking...
