lal trades: russell, vanderbilt, hood-schifino, 2027 #1 protection removed


utah trades: collins, mills


lakers get collins to add some needed length and defense, replacing vandy is out injured and may not be back for a while.

jazz get an better #1 for their rebuild...vando's money runs a couple years longer than collins but is much less in total money and yearly money.

Do not like this for the Lakers. I'd rather DLo and Vando than Collins.

[Andre Roberstan]

I like Collins, but I'm not sure this moves the needle for the Lakers more than Russell/Vando.

I don't think Collins is worth reducing the protections on that pick. Maybe if the Lakers are moving Vincent and Wood instead of DLo it could be.

I know that I'm much more of a Collins fan than you are and I haven't felt any motivation to move him, but I just don't love either of these scenarios. What do you think the relative value is for removing the protections on that pick? A late FRP? A swap? An early SRP?

My guess is a late first or a swap. I think Collins might be worth expirings with hisbplay this year, so the value for LA is in swapping its bad money for injured and bad players for neutral money for a good player.
