Lakers trade: Reaves/Rui/Kieber/Knecht/1st
Brooklyn trades: Claxton/Cam Johnson

Lakers get: Claxton/Cam Johnson
Brooklyn gets: Reaves/Rui/Kieber/Knecht/1st

Lakers basically trade most of their assets for Claxton a lob threat for Luka and Cam Johnson a 3&D wing. This is probably the best they can do given their limited assets.

Luka
DFS
Cam
LeBron
Claxton

That team should contend next year. A lot of length and defense on the wings and they can all guard different positions.

Brooklyn gets Reaves/Rui/Knecht and a 1st. Not a bad return for a rebuilding team.


Who says no?

Why Is everyone so high on Claxton? he doesn't do anything and his contract way too high.

So, where's this championship help?

Reaves is the best player here by a large margin. Not sure why the Lakers are paying Knecht/1st?

Hell, even Rui is a proven playoff provider.

Going from Rui to Cam costs maybe a low-end 1st? Call it Knecht.

Then it's Reaves/1st/Filler for Claxton?

Or if it's Reaves for Cam, I wouldn't trade Rui+1st for Claxton.

Cam plays D?

I wouldn't assign first round value to Knecht. Early second maybe. Did nothing special, old for a rookie and a year of depreciation on the vehicle, considering he was also a mid to late first in a weak draft to begin with.
