And ESPN still thinks the Laker haul would be better than a Knicks trade

It's strange to declare the Knicks slight "losers" for landing at No. 3 and the Lakers "winners" for rising from No. 11 to No. 4, but that assessment is correct. For all their flaws -- and perhaps too much has been made of those flaws considering the players' age -- the Lakers' young players have more combined trade value than Kevin Knox, Frank Ntilikina, Dennis Smith Jr. and Mitchell Robinson. (Does Robinson have the most trade value of those four guys? He might. He had the best 2018-19 season among them.)

The No. 3 pick in this draft plus all of those guys does not carry the same appeal as the No. 4 pick plus Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart and Kyle Kuzma. If the Davis sweepstakes still happens, the Lakers probably come out of the lottery ahead of Knicks on that front.

I value RJ Barrett higher than any of those other players

They have said they will never deal with the Lakers. But I think most are fooling themselves when they talk down the Lakers assets. Its just not true. The only valid concerns are how they fit together and Ingrams health..

not sure I agree there especially since we don’t know nearly enough about Ingram’s status.

If give the choice especially now with the #1 the Pels would like probably take less to move AD to East.

One key asset the Knicks have is that 2021 unprotected from the Mavs. The Mavs may be decent by then (or not) but that will be a deep draft.

#4 pick in this draft Is the same as the 11th pick or so.

After the top 3, there is a huge drop off and 7 or 8 players that have equal evaluations.

The value of #3 to #4 is a huge difference this year.
