LA Lakers trade Vincent and draft pick to the Hawks for Kennard

The LA Lakers have acquired guard Luke Kennard from the Atlanta Hawks in a move that will send guard Gabe Vincent and a 2032 2^nd-draft selection in exchange.

Luke is shooting a career-best almost 50% from the 3-point line in the current campaign, giving Los Angeles a sharpshooter on the wings for Doncic, Reaves, and LeBron.

Atlanta received a veteran player in that position and will have 11 million dollar trade exception and received a draft selection.

The new Lakers guard is 29 years old and has shot over 44% from the 3-point line during his time in the NBA. Kennard is averaging almost 8 points in 46 matches this campaign, his 9^th in the league.

The Hawks will get Gabe, who is averaging almost 5 points in the current campaign, his 7^th in the NBA.
