Los Angeles Lakers trade for Roy Hibbert

Roy Hibbert joins the Los Angeles Lakers in a trade deal with the Indiana Pacers.

The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired centre Roy Hibbert after agreeing to a trade deal with the Indiana Pacers.

In exchange for the former All-Star, the Pacers have received a future second-round Draft pick.

"We're happy to add a veteran big man to the roster," general manager Mitch Kupchak said in an official statement.

"Roy is a proven All-Star that will help improve our front line. In addition, he is a consummate professional and we look forward to having him on the team."

Hibbert is in the final year of his contract, and is seen as an alternative after the Lakers missed out on LaMarcus Aldridge in free agency.

The Lakers also announced the signings of Lou Williams and Brandon Bass.
