d-lo does absolutely nothing to help the lakers out. if they're trading a first round pick, there better be more coming back

Danny Ainge is doing Danny Ainge. In 2 years the Jazz will be a power player. I don’t know why anyone trades with this guy.

Jazz will have all the assets, nothing for the rest.

Those post Lebron Lakers picks are damm interesting

I have not received any notifications from the ESPN app on my phone so I guess this trade hasn’t been made yet.

I would be livid if I was a Lakers fan. If you trade such a lightly protected 1st round pick when you have basically no youth and your best player is 38 years old, you gotta get back a real difference maker. Are the Lakers even making the play-in with this trade?

they weren't gonna get back any real difference makers just by dealing westbrick and a 1st. only losing one 1st rounder for this package isn't terrible at all

simply getting westbrick off the team makes them better

Did not realize they get back 2 other rotation players in Beasley and Vanderbilt. OK, that makes it better. Still think it's kind of a half measure type of move that doesn't really change their situation all that much. It's going to be a life and death battle to be a play-in team.

I wonder how Shane KKKeisel feels about cheering for Westbrook now.

it should improve their offense for sure but they're still awful on defense and that's what's going to keep them a play-in team at best

but westbrick had to go and they weren't just going to sit back and do nothing with how well lebron is playing

 

[Jack Straw]

Have to say that looks like a good trade for the Lakers. They're not title contenders but they should be a playoff team now.
