Feel like Orlando sold light here. I get they weren't likely to keep the pick, but a second and cash is a bargain for a spot where there are some good players.

I wonder why Cleveland didn't go get this one, instead. Did they really want to keep their own future 2nd that badly? Did they not want to (or not be able to) put up the same amount cash?

Picks in the 30's definitely have a solid hit rate at the cost they hold. Wish my Bulls could've snagged this deal.

Many owners care more about money than winning. My team's owner (Leonsis) is in this camp. Lakers probably spent the max of cash considerations to get this deal done.

Good deal for both teams.

NBA rigging the system again for the Lakers.

That’s a better second than I expected the Lakers to be able to get. Solid deal.

Yeah I'm surprised a pretty good 2nd went this cheap.

Lakers probably paid max cash considerations here.

If by “rigging” you mean encouraging them to have more players under 35, then yes
