That's gonna be yuge. Rocket's get their veteran pg.

Good for Lou. He has paid his dues for a long time and deserves to play for a winner.

Nice pick up for Houston. Didn't realize they were in the market for Lou, but for what they gave up (nothing), might as well

This seems like a really good trade for both sides. The Rockets get a good player that will strengthen their bench for the postseason. Meanwhile the Lakers get a first for their rebuild, and they also drop Lou which means more losses and a stronger chance of their own pick remaining in the top 3 so that it doesn't go to Philly.

Too average to make a difference. Overrated trade and wont improve CC.

Good trade for the lakers. They can lose their first round pick, so this guarantees ones.

kind of a meh move on both sides.

Lou Williams probably is a bigger need than the wing player that Brewer is given their roster construction, but Williams style of play doesn't translate that well to playoff basketball.

Brewer won't do anything to make LA better or worse and the pick going to the Lakers will likely just be a marginal player.

Brewer isn't an expiring contract so it won't help the Lakers in clearing cap space.
