Fantastic for our 2018 BKN pick but what are the Nets doing?

Not good for our 2018 Lakers pick

Unbelievable that the lakers were able to shed Mosgov's deal with 3 years left.

Wow, I was literally about to post this.

What a dumb move LOL.

Lopez is not worth Russell, and the 27th pick...

What are the Lakers thinking..?

Wow.   

Question is, how much does adding Lopez and taking Russell (assuming no PG or Butler move) make LAL better this season?

Lakers need to clear salary, presumably for George.

Mosgov has one of the worst salaries in the NBA, I hate this for both teams, but getting rid of Mosgov's albatross contract is a massive win

I don't get why they would do this trade tbh..

I mean even if they get George... Is Lopez, George, Ball, Clarkson, and Randle, that good of a starting five..?

I would laugh, that if at the end of the day, the Celtics snag PG13 lol.

I don't think it's terrible for the Lakers pick.  Lopez is a bit of a glass cannon.

Definitely means the Lakers are picking Ball.

Does this trade make either team better?

Should be great for our BKN pick and okay for the LAL pick...unless the Lakers now bring in George. Obviously Lopez is not worth Russell, but big win for the Lakers in shedding Mozgov's contract.

Also, the Lakers are now unable to trade #2 before the draft unless they get a 1st in return (assuming this deal is processed before Thursday.)

EDIT:  Nevermind, I thought the Nets were getting the Houston pick.  Instead the Lakers get our pick?  Weird move by the Nets.

But what are the Lakers gonna offer now?

The 27th pick? Randle? Clarkson?

Awful deal for the Lakers. Brook Lopez doesn't fit with the Lakers and Waltons style at all.

Looks like Ball is going to LA.
