Lakers land Luke Kennard for Gabe Vincent, boosting shooting

The Lakers traded Gabe Vincent to the Atlanta Hawks for sharpshooter Luke Kennard and a 2032 second-round pick. Kennard is shooting a league-best 49.7% from three this season off the bench and is expected to space the floor for LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Austin Reaves. The move is viewed as a marginal upgrade, with LA planning no more deals today and eyeing a bigger summer splash using about $60 million in cap space and multiple first-round picks (2026, 2031, 2032).

Jazz land Lonzo Ball, Cavs draft picks in three-team swap; Landale to Hawks

The Cavaliers, looking to trim payroll and avoid second-apron penalties, save substantial luxury-tax money and gain draft capital, while Utah gains asset leverage via a trade exception to absorb Ball’s contract. Landale provides Atlanta with frontcourt depth as injuries mount, with the Hawks likely to waive a player to clear roster space.
