the Pelicans will more than likely have the better pick so what good would an option to swap be for them?

how about Shaq, Kareem, Howard, Nash, Gasol, AD, dude its fucking sickening to even think about how much value the Lakers have gotten

hey bro they traded the entire scrub squad for AD tho
so its like fair n stuff

I wonder if the Bucks tried to get Paul at all. They gave up assets the OKC might of wanted.

OKC would want Bledsoe? No they're in rebuild

Hill? Maybe just to flip to a contender for a pick

Paul went for a better package IMO

Shaq. He was a Free Agent lol

They Lakers lost the Howard and Nash trades 100%. You literally can't say they won those trades in any circumstance.

The Gasol trade was a wash at best and a case could be made that Memphis won that trade because of Marc's career after the trade.

The AD deal wasn't a steal either. They gave up way to much for what they should have. The Pelicans had no leverage whatsoever.

I don't know the detains of the Kareem trade because I was not around then, so that might of been a heist but I'm not sure.

I did say free. Like LeBron and Shaq

how many teams can say they got even one player as good as LeBron or Shaq for free in FA?

I didn't mean they'd want the exact same package but they would want the draft picks for sure and I'm sure they could shuffle off Hill or Bledsoe at the deadline for a team needing an extra push if they were in the trade.

I'd prefer Holiday over Paul because he can be a sidekick to Giannis for a longer time

Now I really want Aaron Baynes and PJ Tucker
