Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal

Consider this a fail-safe for the Los Angeles Lakers. They won’t make this trade unless they can’t find a better one involving Russell Westbrook.

Unfortunately for them, that looms as a possibility. Westbrook won’t be appealing to most teams – the headache of accommodating him could deter potential suitors. If the Lakers can’t find a trade they like for him, they might as well maximize him.

This trade helps them do so. Small-ball lineups featuring Collins at the 5 should help Westbrook discover some of his old magic. Meanwhile, Kaminsky provides similar spacing at that position.

Of course, Bogdanovic also spaces the floor, but he also does a lot more. His ability to create his own shot will give this Lakers offense a much-needed new dynamic.
