The Los Angeles Lakers made a major move at the NBA trade deadline, sending out Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and a first-round pick in the 2018 Draft.

To discuss Thomas’ arrival, LN Podcast host Trevor Lane brings in Anthony Irwin and Harrison Faigen of Locked on Lakers. We touch on whether or not Thomas is the fit that the Lakers ideally want, and if he’s someone that the team should see as a fallback option to LeBron James and Paul George, who they are rumored to be targeting this summer.
