Stephenson was a part of the Indiana Pacers teams with Paul George and David West that would compete with Miami when LeBron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade were making their runs. Stephenson is just 27-years old and is an excellent defensive player that will provide the Lakers with some more perimeter defenders along with the Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
It has been a great last 24-hours for Los Angeles.
