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.”

The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed last year that Larsa, 48, was seeing Michael Jordan’s son Marcus.

Her divorce from NBA legend Pippen was finalized in December 2021.
