Joe Smith was thrilled to hear he had been traded to the Lakers.

"At this point in my career, this is probably a great move because this team has won two in a row and has a chance to win a third one," he said. "Hopefully, I can be a part of it and try to bring whatever I can to the table to help us succeed."

Smith expects to pick up the triangle offense quickly.

"It's not as difficult as you would think," he said.
