Pellies got trash in return (obviously the picks could change that). Lonzo can’t shoot, Hart is overrated by Laker fans, and Ingram has blood clots and it’s a contract year. 

Look at the history of trading superstars in their final year of a contract when it is well known they aren’t staying. 

 

This is about as good as it gets. Lonzo and Ingram are good and lord knows how much last season masked their progress. They get #4 to go along with #1 this year, which they could trade for a good player too. Hart is a good role player. 

 

With Boston not willing to give up Tatum, this is a fantastic deal for the Pelis.

They should have taken the #3 pick (Barrett) and shipped him off to the Knicks 

The Knicks weren’t willing to give up near as much as the Lakers were - and most would consider the Lakers young core to be a significantly better haul than the Knicks could offer. 

 

The Pelis knew the Lakers were desperate to try to save face and get AD, and they by all accounts fleeced them. It might be worth it for the Lakers if they get a title or two out of it, but that’s the kind of trade it was for them - title or bust.
