The Los Angeles Lakers can say they were part of the biggest trade in NBA history.
A record seven teams joined together to complete a deal, centered around Kevin Durant's trade from the Rockets to the Suns. Also taking part were the Timberwolves, Warriors, Hawks and Nets.
The Lakers' role wasn't major and it didn't bring with it a bunch of new moves, but rather already reported dealings that got consolidated for efficiency reasons.
According to Marc Stein, the Lakers' only acquisition in the deal were the already known draft rights to Adou Thiero from Brooklyn.

The Lakers sent out the draft rights to Rocco Zikarsky and cash considerations to the Timberwolves.
It's not a crucial role for L.A. to play by any means, but the cash they sent to Minnesota must've helped facilitate other parts of the deal.
And now the Lakers can say they made history.
