Luke Walton is the only one of the three players the Lakers traded Thursday to wear the uniform of his new team.

Walton suited up for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday, but did not play as ex-Laker Byron Scott’s team was routed by the Atlanta Hawks.
The Cavaliers cut Jason Kapono after he reported, and Derek Fisher reached a contract buyout with the Houston Rockets.
Fisher, if he clears waivers, will be free to sign with any team but the Lakers for the rest of this season. Ironically, the players union president helped negotiate the new CBA that prevents him from returning to the Lakers.
Center Zydrunas Ilgauskas returned to Cleveland a couple of seasons ago, 30 days after being traded, then cut, under the old rules.
