Or we keep Donovan, acquire Ayton, and send expiring deals and draft capital to get him like John Holinger, former NBA GM, outlined yesterday.

The Lakers agreed to trade Kuzma a solid young forward on a team friendly deal and Harrell's expiring deal for him last offseason, has his value diminished that much?

Kuzma averaged 17/8.5/3.5 on 45/34/71 splits and is on a $13M per year deal. That's what guys like Gary Harris and PJ Tucker just got this offseason.

If the Lakers somehow receive Buddy Heild and Kyrie while also dumping Russ it'd be one of the biggest heists in NBA history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th pick/8th pick, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, the rights to the Lakers 2023 pick and 2024/2025 pick for AD was a heist? Ingram is emerging as one of the better players in the league and AD is declining. Edited July 2, 2022 by NYRaider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMG5 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Personally i would love if the Pels made a trade for someone like Hield. He's a sniper off the bench, which we definitely need, and if it doesn't work out then you have an expiring sniper on an $18/19M deal that you can trade next offseason. He definitely has more value than being a salary dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said it was gonna be Kuzma instead of Ingram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave up two top 10 picks, one of the best young players in the league, and control of their draft for the foreseeable future when they're headed towards a rebuild. I agree the trade worked out for them since they won a title but to suggest giving up Ingram and all of that draft capital was a heist is a little far fetched... A heist would be dumping Russell Westbrook's contract while receiving back an All-NBA level player and another good starter.

The trade worked out well for both sides but there's a realistic chance the Pelicans get 4 top 10 picks and Ingram one of the best young players in the league going forward for AD, but I guess it was a heist.

Under no circumstance would I describe the AD trade as a heist. Just saying that it was worth it for them since they won the title, so in the end the compensation they gave up doesn't actually matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
