The Los Angeles Lakers have had many greats in purple and gold. One player who could have been great with the Lakers was Eddie Jones, who was traded in the middle of his fifth season with the team.
In a lockout season that was shortened to 50 games in 1999, he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets. He and teammate Elden Campbell were traded for star Glen Rice, J.R. Reid, and B.J. Armstrong.
After being drafted by the Lakers with the 10th pick in the 1994 Draft, the team decided it was time to move on.
