well we just won 2 rings with those guys with Derek Fisher as our PG. Sweet Lou is better than D-Fish and Brand is better than Bynum was the last 2 postseasons. Plus you have Young whos better than Ariza or Artest. You'd basically have the best frontline in the NBA at the expense of Jrue, who will probably never be a top 5 point guard, I love him, but that's probably a true statement. I don't think it's that unrealistic of a trade and I bet more than 50% of Laker fans wouldn't do it.
Anyways, not trying to troll just getting a feel of if either of those trades would be considered and it sounds like they wouldn't. All good. Good luck next year
Allow me to disect your post...First off you didnt just win 2 rings with those guys , you actually just got swept. We know Lou is better than D fish , But Jrue is better than both of them. Brand could NOT have been better than bynum the last 2 postseasons seeing as how we didnt have a postseason last year.
Its not a matter of Jrue becoming a top 5 point guard in the NBA , its a matter of losing out on a pretty solid player who is only 20 and not having anybody YOUNG and GOOD to distribute. We are rebuilding , so adding fisher who is like 36 , would go against everything we are trying to do. Im not trying to bash or anything , but that trade is very illogical when you look at it and the direction both teams are heading.
