The Lakers are wasting no time in bolstering their title defense, reportedly agreeing to a trade with the Thunder on Sunday for guard Dennis Schröder. Los Angeles will send veteran swingman Danny Green and a first-round pick to OKC in exchange for Schröder. Green is entering the final year of a two-year deal he signed with the Lakers last year. Schröder’s contract is also expiring, though ESPN reports Los Angeles intends to sign him beyond next season. Let’s grade the deal for each side.

Lakers: B
This is a solid if not spectacular move for Los Angeles.
