Los Angeles Lakers: Moritz Wagner signs rookie deal

With the 25th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Lakers surprised many by selecting Moritz Wagner from Michigan. While Wagner was a very good player at Michigan, taking him in the first round might have been a bit of a stretch for the Lakers.

However, Wagner has the ability to stretch the floor as a big man, and that has become very important in the NBA now. With Wagner signing his rookie deal, this means that the Lakers will be unable to trade him for 30 days.

Also, not insignificant: the Lakers just announced they've officially signed first-round pick Moe Wagner, which means he can't be included in a trade for 30 days.
