According to numerous sources, the Lakers appear to have made a late offseason move Wednesday night as they appear to be close to acquiring veteran point guard Patrick Beverley from the Jazz.

Beverley won't play for the Jazz during his time in Utah because he was part of the five-player, five-pick transaction that was traded for Rudy Gobert in July.

Beverley would be competing for a backcourt spot with Russell Westbrook, with whom he has a difficult past, barring any other Lakers moves.

Despite having a bigger role in his third season with Los Angeles, Horton-Tucker reached a plateau (25.2 mpg vs. 20.1 in 2020-21).

Johnson, who was selected by Detroit with the No. 8 overall pick in 2015, eventually stayed with the Lakers after a couple 10-day contracts, eventually averaging 6.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in 22.8 minutes over 48 games (27 starts).
