Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Terrence Ross

Orlando Magic Receive: F Talen Horton-Tucker

Terrence Ross has been the ultimate bench player for the Orlando Magic. Over the last five years, he has made 22 starts over that span but remains a legitimate contributor and scorer. During his time in Orlando, Ross is scoring 11.4 points per game.

Ross has shown a good attitude as well. He has allowed the Magic to develop young guards for the future and has been a solid leader for that generation.

Ross is scoring 8.8 points this season but has struggled from three-point range, shooting 29.7%. This is an area where Ross can excel but has had a difficult season.

The trade happening here is more about the fit. Ross would contribute to a win-now team while the Magic would get another young player, which the Lakers have liked over the years.
