2. Lakers land Mike Scott
The Lakers add some toughness with this move. Mike Scott is one of the tougher players in the league and isn’t scared to go head to head in some confrontation. He would be more then willing to exchange words if opponents go after LeBron or AD.
The 76ers are coming off a very disappointing season. They were expected to contend in the East, but ended up getting swept in the first round by the Boston Celtics. The teams defense was gashed on all cylinders.
Here they receive Bradley who is a familiar face under new coach Doc Rivers. He can help the wing defense along with youngster Matisse Thybulle. As the 76ers look to change their identity and work around their two stars Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons.
Scott is a guy who has knocked down 36.4% of his 3-pointers in his career. He has playoff and starting experience so he can help the team as a veteran.
Scott and Bradley both have one year on their deal valued at $5,005,350. So a simple swap here doesn’t affect either team’s cap. Change of scenery could help both players and both teams.
