Lakers get: C Brook Lopez (Milwaukee) and F Cameron Johnson (Nets)
Bucks get: PG Gabe Vincent (Lakers) C Jaxson Hayes (Lakers), F Maxwell Lewis (Lakers), 2031 1st round pick (Lakers) and F/G Dariq Whitehead (Nets)
Nets get: PG D'Angelo Russell (Lakers), PF Rui Hachimura (Lakers), PG Jalen Hood-Schifino (Lakers) and G Pat Connaughton (Bucks), 2029 1st round pick (Lakers), 2031 2nd round pick (76ers)
Lakers-- LA parts with some assets and shed salary to get a starting center, a starting wing shooter, and open up the full MLE to sign a free agent like Tyus Jones or DeRozan (if that ship hasn't sailed).
Bucks-- Get a center on their roster and more importantly save 17 million- so now they can re-sign Beasley and stay under 2nd apron. Vincent likely takes over Wright as the backup to Lillard and of course they get a 1st round pick in the deal, but have to forgo a 2nd to unload Connaughton.
Nets-- Get expiring contract of Russell, new start for Hachimura who will likely start for them and more importantly gain two more draft picks including a 2029 first rounder from Lakers, who also send them a young player in JHS.
