I would call this the most shocking move of the day. The Los Angeles Lakers have traded longtime point guard Derek Fisher and a first round drat pick to the Houston Rockets for Jordan Hill.
Fisher became expendable when the Lakers acquired Ramon Sessions. The Rockets were in desperate need of a point guard with Kyle Lowry sidelined and the earlier trade of Jonny Flynn.
More moves may leak out as the deadline has passed. Trades had to be submitted by 3 PM Eastern. It’s been a slow, yet surprising deadline.
Keep checking back as more deals are released. We will keep you updated on them.
