Veteran wide receiver Frank Lockett, the Breakers' top receiver in 1984, was traded Wednesday by the club to San Antonio for two of the Gunslingers' 1986 draft choices. 

The Breakers also signed WR Mike Smith who last played for the Arizona Wranglers during the 1983 season.

Lockett, 27, has had 30 catches for 537 yards through 10 games this season.

He was a 1979 draft pick of the Green Bay Packers but released before the start of the season. He also had tryouts with San Francisco in 1980 and the Miami Dolphins in 1982.

“This is mainly a move for the future,” Breakers coach Dick Coury said. “Frank has been a good player for us, but we're looking at the long-term plans and feel this is a solid trade.”
