Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal
Any team acquiring Reddish is taking a risk. So far, he’s produced very little at the NBA level.
With that said, in theory, he’s exactly the player the Lakers need. A 3-and-D wing who can create his own shot is precisely the archetype that has always thrived alongside LeBron James.
Meanwhile, if it doesn’t work out, little is lost. Nunn has not been a fixture in Los Angeles this season. Losing him shouldn’t make much of a difference to them.
In other words, this is a buy-low opportunity for the Lakers.
