Or another way to look at it, the Lakers traded for a guy that averaged 26pts/12rebs/4asts/2.5blks last year.

Screw Kemba. Acquire Butler and have LeBron run point.
Kemba isn't gonna give up that supermax deal from Hornets anyway.

He already told the Hornets that he's willing to take less if they can build a competitive roster. Money isn't his motive.

He's not a first option on a contender so you're really counting on LeBron in the last few years of his prime to lead that team to the promised land. Health will be a key factor for both players, but let's see if they can sign or make a move for another All-Star who fits AD's timeline. That would change the value of this trade. I'm just not convinced this is a slam dunk for the Lakers. Maybe I'm in denial.

It is. And no one is claiming he's a superstar. He's a good player on a rookie contract that can do a little of everything. Perfect player next to a couple of superstars.
