12 years after he helped the Lakers raise a banner before leaving in free agency, Trevor Ariza is coming home to Los Angeles to try and help the team raise another one. He will be joined by fellow veteran shooter Wayne Ellington, who previously played for the team during the 2014-15 season.
Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN and Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports broke the news about the Lakers’ first two deals of free agency:

We will update this post with more analysis as this breaking news story continues to develop.
