The Lakers made a deal early in the day of the NBA trade deadline, acquiring sharpshooter Luke Kennard from the Hawks for Gabe Vincent.

Ex-Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard is on the move amid the best shooting season of his career, heading to the Los Angeles Lakers in a reported trade on Thursday. The NBA trade deadline on Thursday is seeing teams like the Atlanta Hawks move some of their expiring contracts to teams in the playoff hunt like the Lakers.

Yossi Gozlan: The Los Angeles Lakers get one of the best shooters in the league in Luke Kennard for Gabe Vincent and a second. They save $500,000 in the process, giving them more apron flexibility for the buyout market. The Lakers are now out of second-round picks to trade.

Luke Kennard has been wildly successful this season on paper, yet he hasn't helped the Hawks' offense.
