Pelinka is an idiot and this trade was terrible. 2022 bron will be gone, who knows if AD and his hx of injuries can hold up

Yup. Kendrick Perkins says we're getting someone else too

I wonder who it is though? My money is on Kyrie

Can one of the Lakers fans explain something to me.

I keep hearing Kemba Walker name. But the most yall can give is 140 over 4 year's. The Hornets don't have to give him the supermax and still give him 5 years 200 not the full 220. Why do you think you can sign him?

Davis is injury prone we all know this. Yall should be in the finals. But that's a super hard pill to swallow

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 point of this trade was to win a title immediately. They are now in a position to do just that. If they win a title or two and end up getting killed because of the pick swaps, it's whatever. You play to win it all.

Second, this is not comparable to the Nets trade in any way, shape or form. Pierce and KG were 36/37 years old when that deal was made; Anthony Davis just turned 26.

This trade was made with the expectation that they will be able to surround him with talent for the next decade, well after LeBron hangs it up. A competent organization should be able to do that. If they fail in that quest, they deserve to get haunted by those pick swaps.

We don't want him. Would be incredibly foolish to give Kemba big money.

You act like Bron can’t pay him on the side for the next movie. Relax breh. Enjoy this.

Having Bron and AD should allow us to draw in free agents well into the future . Those draft picks should be late picks . Lonzo injury prone too and can’t shoot. Ingram has questions about his health . Think the deal is pretty even

Yall are in position. It's not guaranteed. Why mortgage your future so far out
