I'm no mathematician but is that 5 picks?
That's 3 picks sir
Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy.
So LA still has their 2020 pick; and likely the 2022 pick, the 2023 pick, and the 2025 pick?

Not only did they get one pick outright past 2021 but those pick swaps will come in handy for New Orleans.

I bet but I woudnt mind seeing bron in the finals again. It's going to be a heck of an off season and a heck of a season. Lol too bad my cavs will be insufferable lmaoo I'm hoping the Lakers to get kyrie. Cavs 2.0 on roids.PhilBlackson wrote:

But it's killing fans in middle America...the same organization lost two franchise players to LA. Probably going to lose a third.
This league needs to be careful. We're all fans and want to love basketball at the highest level. Please let the small market teams share in that.

Nah this is the case of a win win for both teams, for the lakers picks like that are really not very important, for a team like the pelicans they are crucial.

Cap space was possible they blew a golden opportunity not getting Jrue too. Jrue is an immensely better fit than Kyrie, Kemba or Jimmy, cheaper and they could get bird rights. Beal has always thought was a good fit, but I’d take Jrue at the price considering his defense (dude can guard 1-3), shooting, and ability to be a secondary ball handler. Probably the most ideal third option to that core and maybe the availability wasn’t easy but if they got him they’d be confavorites with the raps next year (assuming Kawahi is back)

This trade for the Lakers is the very definition of mortgaging the future. They obviously get the best player in the transaction, but man that is a lot of future picks to drop. I don't think it's any coincidence that most of these transfer after Lebron retires. Rob, Lebron and Rich Paul don't give a **** about the Lakers beyond 2021.
