The Lakers are clearly looking to next season. On the eve of the trading deadline, the Lakers have traded point guard Steve Blake to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks.
Steve Blake just acknowledged he’s been traded, says he’ll miss L.A. Didn’t rule out returning to Lakers in free agency in July.

Blake: “Real mixed emotions. The hardest thing really is my family. Now I’m going to have to spend four months probably away from them.”

Blake was actually on the court warming up for their match up against the Houston Rockets. Per reports he left, changed into street clothes and began saying his goodbyes. Lakers will reportedly save $2 million in luxury tax with this move.
