Lakers: Acquired a veteran stretch big man from the Bulls. Acquired a former Lakers point guard. Also acquired a defender and a Serbian guard. Also acquired a point guard and a veteran shooting guard in free agency. With these moves, the Lakers add a big man, create space, and get a backup for Luka, which could bolster their defense.

Clippers: The loss was not small, but they did acquire youth, explosiveness and a draft pick from the Lakers. The move allowed them to trade a struggling guard for a guard who took a big step forward.

Bulls: Not a perfect move, but getting rid of a veteran who was a drag on their rebuild should help their team. The player they got should improve their defense.
