No one wants to face the Nets once Ben Simmons is available…. And also on days Kyrie is available … and if Durant stays healthy.

Kyrie-Seth-Patty (or Harris)-KD-Simmons is truly unfair. I dont know how you'd even begin to stop that offense. If they find a way to flip Harris into another wing defender, it's over.
 
is Simons a star in the making or a stats on bad team guy? He has been lighting it up lately. Shooting nearly 40 percent from 3 on the season too. Blazers thought they were tanking but Simons, Hart and Nurkic are keeping them competitive so far.
 
I thought he looked pretty good in his rookie season the few games I went to but he never really had a great opportunity to take the next step. I guess now he will.

I know Presti loves picks but I don't think he loves picks that much

They are playing the long game you see, Westbrook helps them lose and brings up attendance at the same time. Joking aside, I think its the best spot for him. He appears to have run his course as a viable top 3 guy on a team and is either going to have to accept being the lead guy on a really bad team or fill the "microwave" scorer off the bench roll. The Lakers can't go into next season with him on the roster.

Which means they have to find a taker for his $47M contract with only a 2027 pick as sweetener. Unless somebody is coming up desperately under the salary floor (and it isn't the Thunder, SGA's extension kicks in next year) who's going to trade for him? It does look like maybe Detroit could send off DeAndre Jordan and bring Westbrook back in and sneak under the cap, but I'm altogether unsure why they would do that. The Lakers outplayed themselves, and I think they're stuck with it.

I hope you are right, that way the Lakers have no choice but to blow it up at next years deadline to build around AD. Lebron gets shipped to the Kings (so he can stay close to his LA home)
