LAKERS PROPOSED TRADE FOR SMART & WILLIAMS

This is what I believe would be the ideal trade for the Lakers. They already have a top-5 offense and this trade would also give them a top-5 defense.
Smart is a better fit as POA defender than Reddish or Vanderbilt because he’s a superior defender and 3-point shooter and proven starter quality point guard. He may not be as good an offensive player as DLO but he’s dramatically better offensively than either Cam or Vando.
Williams is a former All-defensive center who can both protect the rim and defend on the perimeter. Combined with AD, he would give the Lakers the best defensive front court in the league. Lakers would become a juggernaut with this trade.
