the fact that tatum wasn't even available, AND every team knew AD was going to the lakers next summer anyway, makes this a home run trade.


Agreed. It’s not what you wanted to get, it’s what can you actually get.

I’m also encouraged because Randle & D’Lo developed so much after leaving the Lakers, Ball and Ingram are just starting to hit that 2nd & 3rd year when they should make big strides and that they are on rookie deals.

The picks are big too.

@hpbasketball: There is an additional swap with the deal, sources tell @ActionNetNBA.

The No.4, two more 1sts, (3 total 1sts) and one swap.

I really want to know where this trade sets up both teams salary cap wise

can the Pels go after any big FAs this year?

can the Lakers put any real good pieces next to AD & Bron or will they be a 2-trick pony?

If you tell me we get Towns for #4 or someone with that talent then yes please. But that isn’t realistic and I would rather draft a guy who can be our “Tatum.”

Pels are looking towards building a bright future, not win NOW.

Give me Culver or Hunter and let’s build a winner with a core on Rookie deals!!

He's a kid that will mature. He's younger or within a few months in age as a lot of players in the draft this year.

And going into last season, he had a clean up surgery. Didn't even have an offseason. He's going to be a really good player

Lol. AD hardly sniffed the playoffs 7 years here and the Lakers missed the playoffs this season. Now adding AD and losing Ingram and Ball makes them better than the Bucks, Raptors, Rockets, etc? You're melting hard my dude.
It’s not my opinion. It’s Vegas’s opinion. You think they’re in the business of losing money?

Vegas is also reasonably close to Los Angeles, and the Lakers have a huge fanbase, and lots of them want to bet on their team, which moves the line. That's how Vegas makes money.

Yep, and here’s why I don’t watch this thug league !! Players whine, moan, groan and bitch about everything !! They feel they are high and mighty privileged above everyone !! Spoiled brats. But yep, let’s give them what they want.
