Why The Los Angeles Lakers Do The Deal
The Lakers should like this deal no matter what. They’re getting the best player in it.
We don’t mean to disrespect Beasley. He’s a good player. On the other hand, he doesn’t bring the level of shot creation and playmaking to the table that Dinwiddie does.
The Lakers wouldn’t be bringing him in to start, either. They should either upgrade or offer that role back to D’Angelo Russell. Dinwiddie would be coming to LA to be a sixth man.
That’s a role he ought to thrive in. Dinwiddie is easily qualified to run a second unit. In having him do so, the Lakers could have quality playmaking on the floor for entire games.
