NYRaider Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Just now, JMG5 said: They definitely paid a premium. 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. I agree it worked out well for both sides, it wasn't close to a heist or similar to Westbrook for Buddy/Kyrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasol trade wasn't really a heist either. Memphis got Marc Gasol out of it. Both trades paid off for the Lakers but they were far from "heists." You wanna know what a heist is? Getting Norman Powell and OG Anunoby for Greivis ******* Vasquez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Windhorst almost had a full blown meltdown when we traded Royce/Rudy because he knows it slows down a potential KD deal and hurts LeGM's ability to aid Kyrie forcing his way to the Lakers. Lakers fans legit think they're getting multiple players that are good starters including Kyrie while dumping Russ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll just let him sit if they can't get good compensation for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agarcia34 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 If the Nets give the Lakers there only life line they have then the Nets should be shot to the moon. Lakers can’t give you anything worth a damn. This would be an all time bad trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Westbrook/Simmons duo also probably guarantees you a solid draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
