Hey, everybody. Welcome to locked on Lakers for Tuesday. Brian Kiminetski and Kiminetski. The Rajon Rondo deal is finalized.

He's on his way to Cleveland and the Lakers figured out a way to save themselves about four million bucks in the process.

But they have other housekeeping issues to figure out, including whether to extend Avery Bradley's contract through the end of the season.

And whether to bring Stanley Johnson back and when we'll talk about all that plus. Good news around Malik Monk coming up on today's episode of locked on Lakers.

We're not even at the trade deadline. The Rajan Rondo deal was finalized on Monday made official. He is sent to Cleveland.

And the Lakers received the draft lot rights to someone named Louis, something or other. It doesn't matter.

No, it really does not matter. It's better to just not butcher his last name when ultimately he is not going to play any role with the Lakers whatsoever.

Through the Lakers or anyone other than perhaps one day, being traded again. Right. He writes deal like this. He is an accounting footnote at this point.
