After several solid seasons in Portland after an all-rookie start after being drafted No. 1 in 1978, the 6-10 forwardcen­ter was acquired from San Antonio in a pivotal trade that helped the Lakers secure their final two Showtime-era titles (1987-88) over the aging Boston Celtics and the Detroit “Bad Boy” Pistons. In five seasons in L.A., primarily anchoring the second unit, he averaged 8.9 points and 5.4 rebounds, shooting 51.4% from the field.
