D'Angelo Russell has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday in exchange for Brook Lopez and the No. 27 pick in Thursday's NBA draft. The Nets will also receive overpaid C Timofey Mozgov. (Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Russell joins a team in desperate need of guards and will be in line for the lead role in Brooklyn. Russell's value is only on the way up and will be starting either at the one or two depending on Jeremy Lin and what the team does in the draft. Mozgov could be waived in a corresponding move. Brook Lopez gets a bump in L.A. playing for Luke Walton.
