    Exactly. The only problem is if in 4 more years and if Lakers make no noise then it was bad. In that span would of had 3 top 5 players.

    True, but let's get like 2 years away from now to REALLY judge what was good and bad?

    MAYBE....Rob gets fired and someone else takes over and trades Reaves anyways. Maybe Reaves lives up to the contract and him and Luka are competing for the MVP each year. Maybe.....the world explodes.

    Who knows..........................

    It’s not going to explode- it will be cleansed with fire and remade.

    Well i think its good at this point. Lebron is 42 in Dec, Him and Austin was a dud so it was the best call since they already proved not good enough.

    Just keep in mind Lebron/Austin was not competitive vs Denver, Wolves or OKC. Some of these games included Davis or Luka.

    I would have been pretty disappointed if free agency shook out in a way that led to us relying on Robinson at this type of contract… but damn things are getting increasingly more and more concerning. It really is Kessler/Duren or bust

    Glad we're out of Mitch, didn't like his value. Too much money for such a flawed and unavailable player

    WOW Mitch off the board surely the Lakers have a big move lined up. This could really go down hill quick.

    We're sending all the picks. We better be sending salary too. It seems we're paying around 30mil so we still have around 20M and the room for 3 or 4 new guys

    Really hoping as part of this trade we’re also shedding some salary, otherwise that is very pricey…

    But given how things have played out I think we had to do whatever it took to get Kessler or Duren. I’m excited.
