    Smart is disproportionately valuable as the edge, the glue, the D guy compared to middling stats.

    100% he is everything you say. That doesn’t mean he’s an untouchable player at all. Every player basically w the exception of like 5 has a price but they aren’t just gonna move him to him. If they move him they are gonna do it for a good reason like you said either a young all star caliber player in Collins or as part of a package for a superstar.

    Yeah. Oladipo is exactly that guy who will put a whole team on his back and carry them to the W. He's done it for us all seas... wait, that's not what has happened at all.

    It hurts our rebuild by jeopardizing our top 4 pick. Would you be willing to gamble on possibly drafting Cunningham for AG who will probably dip first day of free agency?

    Any move made that jeopardizes our top 4 pick is pretty dumb. Stop being a prisoner of the moment and think of our future. Porter/Wood & that pick could change this franchise for all you know

    It's true. You gotta take the coin flip at this point.

    With the right pick this team can rebuild with one tanked season and get back to contending.

    Spend time developing KPJ/KMJ/Wood, etc.

    Lol Oladipo has lost 20 straight games with the Rockets. How is he gonna help keep the Lakers competitive without AD and Bron.

    What would it say about the rockets if he does. Even without those 2, lakers are more talented than the rockets.
    Wood is better than anyone they have but after that it's a slew of lakers, Schroder, harrel, Kuma, Horton, Morris, karuso.

    Kpj and kmj may become really good but right now they are not as productive

    There not trading Claxton. The Nets defense averages 99 points per game when he plays 20 or more minutes as opposed to 115 when he dosent. That young man has the potential to be an all nba defensive player of the year once he matures and already is a beast

    He can stay infront pretty much every guard in the league and block 3 or 4 shots a game

    I think there's a zero percent chance that adding AG to this group will lead to enough wins to knock us out of the bottom. We are a special kind of bad.

    yeah that shouldn’t influence us much. We have the most difficult remaining schedule in the NBA, and Wall will have a scope at some point that will knock him out for awhile. So it’s really just going to be KPJ, Tate, AG and Wood...that’s not winning a ton of games unless KPJ literally becomes Harden.

    To be fair in his mind he probably did not think westbrook and Harden would play 1 year together
