Yeah, I love this trade too. We give up the rest of our great young talent but get the perfect player who’s a great scorer, playmaker, AND defender, who already has great relationships with AD, Rondo, and Boogie. Only worry is it could be a rental.
But the flip side is this is how we can get a third max superstar. Trade for him, get his Bird rights, then re-sign him to a max. No need to have LeBron or AD take less. Then do same with another player to replace LeBron before he retires to extend championship window. Only way to make it work. Great opportunity, could happen imo. Depends on what other teams willing to offer for what could be a rental.
This is also where winning the ship makes a big difference. You know Jrue must be envious of AD and knows he’s a great fit for the Lakers and they’re a great fit for him. And they have the money to max him after next season.
