I may not be a fan of the 2 max plan as the direction of the Lakers but that does not take away from the quality of the trade. FO pulled off a coup.
Having financial flexibility will be huge next year. Or in future years. In a variety of ways of their choosing. Great trade on its merits.
I liked Clarkson and Nance too but for the flexibility the Lakers now have it was masterful. Ultimately just how great a trade it is will be determined by how they use it and how competitive it makes the Lakers.
Win a Championship and it was genius. Never getting past the second round for a few seasons and it may viewed differently. |

The reality is that you need to have talent first and we had a ton of talent on this team prior to the trade. If I were a laker I would feel zero (bleep) confidence as we just blew up what we had going for (bleep) players in return.
Do we need a draft pick? No.
We have several invested picks already so we took someone worth a first rounder in JC and basically have to hope we can pick that well again. Nance is a guy you bring off the bench who electrifies the floor. We don't have that now.
I (bleep) hate this trade and we are going to be screwed for another 2-3 years because of it. | HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA |

Lol people act like we are screwed if we don't get two max. You can get incredibly creative with 45mil+ and draft picks as many teams have shown in the past, so we are in great shape no matter what. |

If the trade on the table had included Ingram instead of Nance, for the Nets' 1st (currently #8) instead of the Cavs' 1st (#25), who says no?
Deng
Ingram

Frye
Nets' 1st
Just curious. |
I still say no, BI is a stud |

Was it Isaiah or his agent that said he wasn't coming off the bench? _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
