Don’t think Ayton & Simmons can be on the same squad due to rookie extension rules and I doubt PHX does the trade if you include Ayton & Simmons.
More flexiblity might be true but if thinking Russ + 2 unprotected future Lakers pick is better than DFS, Spence & 1 unprotected pick then call me a dumb Laker fan.
Neither DFS or Spence is getting an unprotected first back. Lottery or lightly protected firsts are the most overrated asset in the nba. I know Russ/Simmons on the same squad would be hella ugly, but letting Russ run the team surrounded by shooters and solid players would’ve had them in a better position for the short term.
And 2 unprotected picks > 1 unprotected pick.
I get the angle of not giving Kyrie what he wants but no way you can tell me the Mavs package was better given what just happened.
“Dumb laker fans” tho
THEY know the Nets didn't trade Kyrie to the Lakers out of spite.
