**** the Lakers. I hate this got rescinded, because I think it was an awful trade for the Lakers.
But now their center rotation is Jaxson Hayes and Christian Wood.
Yeah, it was a weird trade given Mark Williams is constantly broken.
And also has the 3rd worst rim defense in the league after two guards. He's a traffic cone that is partly melted in the sun.Trucker 96 said:

I really wish we'd have gotten knecht in that trade as well

It wouldn't have made any sense from a roster construction standpoint. His defense is terrible.
Not getting as many picks and swaps as possible was the real issue.

For a trade asset as well, not just on court
It needed to be AD, Christie, Reaves, and 2 unprotected firsts.shack009 said:zgolfz85 said:

Reaves is an awful defender, but he could be a really good 6th Man or secondary ball handler
Lively/Gafford
AD/Naji
PJ/Christie
Klay/Dinwiddie/Hardy
Kyrie/Reaves/Exum
That's a pretty excellent rotation
Wouldn't the Mavs have had to put more salary in the trade if Reaves was also in it? That would mean either Klay, Gafford, or PJ also in the deal.
Knecht is way easier, but I think the math would have worked to do Luka, Morris, Powell, Exum, and Maxi for AD, Reaves, Christie. I can't check it with the simulators. But it would be close.
Knecht was way easier since he was a small salary.

Wonder if Powell + Hardy plus waiving Bronny on LA's end gets it done.
Mavs brought in 50.3m and sent out 54m in the initial trade. Would be 60m out and 62.9m in with that trade.
Prosper instead of Hardy gets you to 60.8m instead of 60m.
EDIT: Forgot Morris was in the trade. So that bumps Luka + Kleber + Morris + Hardy + Powell to 63.3m out, 62.9m in. Lakers would have to resolve roster spot issue I believe.

Lots of speculation that Kidd was a lot more aware and approving of the trade than was let on.
Nico talked a lot about defense after the trade. Hardy has played 0 minutes since the trade. The only guys playing are guys who the staff trusts defensively. Even the Grimes trade is something, because he could go rogue sometimes.
The team is going for a clear identity and it's what we saw in the first half of today's game.

I ****ing told y'all that from day one. Of course he knew. But Nico was taking the heat as he should.
