Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal 

By now, everyone knows what’s wrong with the Lakers, and everyone knows how to fix it. 

Their spacing is horrible. Frankly, there’s no polite way to say that. Moreover, LeBron James has always thrived when surrounded by elite floor spacers. This deal brings a couple to Los Angeles. 

With that in mind, Conley feels like a perfect offensive fit alongside James. He’s a high-feel player who makes good decisions and knocks down open looks when he gets them.

Meanwhile, Olynyk is a great front-court spacer who doubles as a sharp passer with playmaking instincts.

Finally, Vanderbilt is the x-factor here. No, he’s not a floor spacer, but he provides too much else for the Lakers to overlook. He’s got a never-ending motor that allows him to be one of the best defensive forwards in the NBA. He’s the type of role player every contender would be lucky to have. 

Should the Jazz give him up for this package?
