Clippers pick is about to become worthless

[hodgy03038]

So Lakers got worse moving Russell and missing out on George, and clippers sign griffin and move Paul, making them slightly worse.

Both picks just rose in value

I would they they got better, substituting ball and lopez for russell and mozgov...

I agree that if Lopez stays healthy they definitely improved.

The Lakers intend to trade Lopez.  Also, I would argue that the Lakers got less good than a few of the teams ahead of them. The West is going to be that much more difficult, so even marginal improvement won't show in wins and losses much.

I do agree with that statement but where do you come up with the Lopez trade?
