Although the Los Angeles Lakers were endlessly linked to a blockbuster Anthony Davis trade, their efforts ultimately proved futile, and the team instead completed minor deals to address their shooting deficiency.
The first was by trading rookie Svi Mykhailiuk and a future second-round draft pick to the Detroit Pistons for Reggie Bullock. Bullock is expected to join the Lakers in Philadelphia and make his debut Sunday against the 76ers.
Then with the clock ticking down toward the trade deadline, the Lakers sent Michael Beasley and Ivica Zubac to the Clippers in exchange for Mike Muscala.
