Giving up an unprotected picks 4-5 years out because you assume you’ll still be good by then can be disastrous.
Two of those are picks swaps. If LA is still competitive, which they absolutely should be with a prime Anthony Davis, those swaps will be meaningless.

AD gonna be 31. By that time we’ll just get another star. :dwillhuh:

AD is injury prone, plus with no picks it’s gon be hard to fill out the roster. Three of the past 4 champions(Spurs; Raptors, Warriors) were able to win mainly due to their cost controlled contracts.

What better way to have a cost controlled contract then someone on a rookie deal? It’s gon hard for the Lakers to do that, when you really won’t have control of your picks for the next 5+ years. Y’all could definitely end up a supercharged version of the Blazers, where you have two stars and not much else.

The stoop with dat dope fanny padding
There are picks deferrals that haven’t even leaked yet

This gonna get worse

Anthony Davis flat out said he was going to the lakers next year

Yet they gave up control of all their picks for the next ten years basically and 3 of their 4 best young players

Lakers are the gift that keeps on giving
