He would bring back all sorts of draft capital. And him being locked down to a long term contract is better then 1 year flight risk.
You think lakers wouldn't jump at giving up 1st rounder and Horton Tucker, westbrook(would have to move him to make cap work) along with 2nd rounders. Basically any capital they are allowed to give up under NBA draft rules.
Lol. I mean look what Russell brought in for DC just last season.
Yeah man, that’s nothing. That’s my point. THT was barely a rotation player this year, Westbrook was 1 of the worst starters in the league. KD would prob retire if that deal happened. If I scroll through all 30 teams I’d prob find a better deal than that.
re draft capital, no team that isn’t contending is gonna deal for him given his age/issues and those are the type of teams that give you draft picks, also Nets trying to contend now so picks don’t really do a ton for them.
Again it’s moot, I was just pointing out I think Cs would’ve kept him over losing him for nothing because of optionality 3 years ago.
They also got at lest one 1st rounder. Don't remember the exact draft capital but know there was a 1st rounder in there.
And yes. Irving is way more valuable then Russ and yet lakers gave up quit a bit for him.
Look what bucks gave up for Jrue. Perhaps now he isn't comparable. But at start of season anyone think Holiday was a better basketball player? Outside a select few?
Draft capital?
The lakers are thin on first rounders and even if they give up a 1st (and they are good), their giving up the 20th pick in the draft. With that being said, there is maybe 1 stud in every nba draft in the 20's. So u have a 10% shot at a stud, thats it
2nd round nba picks? Thats the equivalent of giving up a 7th rd pick in the NFL draft
Russ has more value than Kyree as Russ is NOT a headcase
I wouldn’t call what the wizards got “a lot”, a defensive roleplayer and a young guy and a pick? Meh…..it just looks like a lot now because the Lakers gutted their roster to get that washed guy. They also didn’t resign Caruso and Schroder because of it.
The pels got a bunch of picks from the bucks that will likely be in the 25-30 range unless Giannis blows his knee out, basically lottery tickets meh. Not a bad deal for them since they were trying to rebuild but nothing special.
The nets obviously don’t have much use for that type of haul given with a 34 year old Kevin Durant they are in win now mode.
When you are a good team, it is very tough to trade good players and get = value back to maintain trying to compete. The available options go way down if you aren’t trying to get younger/picks
