Los Angeles Lakers rumors came to fruition this morning. Trade rumors swirled around the team, and something finally came from them, as the Lakers completed a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Lakers agreed to trade Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. to the Cavaliers in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye and Cleveland’s 2018 first round pick. This is a big trade for the Lakers.
Los Angeles now has an avenue to offer two max contracts this summer, as Thomas and Frye are both set to hit unrestricted free agency.
