Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, the Lakers are getting the best player in this trade. It justifies itself in that regard. 

Make no mistake. That’s absolutely who Brooks is here. Even with his inconsistent jump shot, he’s the most impactful player in this exchange. 

After all, the shot isn’t broken. Brooks can knock down triples. He’s also got some shot-creation abilities. Still, that’s not his best trait. Brooks is one of the best wing defenders in the NBA. 

He’s also tough as nails. All of these qualities make Brooks a perfect wing to pair with LeBron James. If the Lakers make this deal, they’ll be a better team in 2022-23.
