Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal 

By contrast, the Lakers can’t afford to worry about the future. 

LeBron James is 37 years old. Against all odds, he still produces like a bonafide superstar. With that said, how long that will remain the case is anybody’s guess. 

With that in mind, the Lakers need players that complement him. This deal brings in several. Rozier allows them to maintain their vision of pairing him with an aggressive attacking guard – only Rozier can also space the floor for him. 

Meanwhile, PJ Washington is exactly the type of floor spacer that maximizes his playmaking. Finally, Oubre Jr. isn’t necessarily a sharpshooter, but at least he won’t gobble up possessions like Westbrook.
