    I remember that Milton was hot playing in Philadelphia and in playoffs vs C Bags e didn't disappear like D-lo .So maybe we getting lite D-lo and JJ will bring him back to that level,but have no idea what he did in Brooklyn

    On paper this team improves in areas it needed.Defensively,toughness (physical and mental) and shooting.

    Yeah. I think Milton is a bit better than he’s getting credit for right now.

    The Los Angeles Lakers will remain below the second salary apron after this trade by almost $3.5 millions
    Another trade is coming...

    I like what we did if it is the first move.
    I hate what we did if it is the only move.

    don't underestimate that rob was given a directive to shave that tax a bit.

    also--does this allow us to cut someone and use the last roster spot to sign a pro-rated vet min under the tax? i think it does.

    didn't realize milton was non-guaranteed the next two years. that's much better for us.

    I really hope they were not just being cheap. Yeah good point about us cutting someone. Maybe we cut Hayes or something, and then convert Olivari's two-way deal, or sign a back up point guard, such as Fultz. I think a vet min. half way thru the season costs like 1.4 million or something like that, so we have a good cushion to work with.

    Is Milton tradeable again? That could still leave some interesting trade fors open since the Lakers didn't move any firsts
