Robinson will come off the bench to help the Hornets, behind Bouknight.

Cavaliers trade: Kevin Love, PF
Piston trade: Frank Jackson, SG / 2024 2nd

Lakers trade: Talen Horton-Tucker
Hornets trade: Mason Plumblee
Winner: Hornets
Analysis: The Lakers get another big man while the Hornets actually improve their depth.

Breaking News
The L.A. Lakers have acquired Paul George and Justise Winslow from the L.A Clippers. The Lakers have sent in PF Carmelo Anthony and PG Russell Westbrook in return. The sides have both agreed after days of talking.

With Kawhi starting at SF, George wanted to not only be a starter, but to also play for another contending team. George will instantly improve the Lakers rotation.

Winslow will play backup to LeBron. Being young, many Lakers fans hope that Winslow will learn and pick up tricks while being mentored by James.

Westbrook voiced his anger and how much he wanted out of LeBron Shadow. On the Clippers, he is slated to slip into that starting role and hopefully lead the Clippers to the top.

Anthony has been averaging 14 points per game with two rebounds. He has was visibly upset to be sent off, but such is life.

Jersey Changes:
Paul George will now sport and take over Anthonys #7 on the Lakers instead of his 13.

Winslow will wear #0 after Westbrook as Avery Bradley currently wears his #20.
