NBA fans flooded social media after a late night trade threw up a potentially awkward team dynamic.

Malik Beasley joined the Los Angeles Lakers in a three-team trade on Wednesday night.



The three-team trade was already a blockbuster as it ended Russell Westbrook's stay in LA with D'Angelo Russell also involved.

But it also united Beasley with Scotty Pippen Jr in Los Angeles.

And Beasley once had a relationship with Pippen's mom – Larsa Pippen.

The relationship was a hot topic in 2020 with Larsa being the ex-wife of NBA legend Scottie Pippen.

Twitter users came alive after news of the trade broke on Wednesday night.

One user wrote: "Malik Beasley & Scottie Pippen JR on the same team now LMAO."

Another said: "Malik Beasley and Scottie Pippen Jr are now on the same team. I wonder how this gone play out."

And one more wrote: "Wait, wasn't Beasley with Pippen Jr's mom? And now they're teammates? That could get awkward."
