LAL: #5, #17, G Monroe (exp), A Afflalo (exp)

SAC: #2, L Deng

MIL: #10 & T Mozgov

SAC can take Fultz (if BOS takes Jackson), Ball, or Fox

LAL can take Ball, Fox, Jackson, Tatum, or Isaac with #5 & Bam Adebayo (who I like) or Harry Giles at #17 and dump both bad contracts.

MIL moves up in the draft from #17 to #10 to take a better prospect.

So the lakers drop from 2 to 5, rid themselves of deng AND mozgovs contracts AND get the 17th pick? Ok. Never going to happen.

So Milwaukee gives up Monroe and his big contract, plus the 17th pick, to get Mozgov and his big contract, and the 10th pick? Whoever the Bucks want will be there at 17. Monroe is still a better player than Mozgov. The Bucks say No!

I'm sorry you don't like that the Lakers come out on top with these moves. But look at each individual transaction and see if the value is fair

SAC gets #2 (choice between Fultz, Ball, Jackson, or Fox presumably), and Deng. He has a bad contract, but since nobody will sign with the Kings because they're a mess, it doesn't really hurt them. Gay is opting out and leaving so they need a SF/ PF. They give up #5 and #10 which are good picks, but #2 is much closer to a sure thing as far as somebody becoming an all star. The kings haven't drafted well (except for Cousins) over the last decade, this increases their odds of landing a future star (all star) caliber player.

MIL gets a bad contract in Mozgov, but he does provide some solid backup minutes at center. Right now they're very young and raw at that position; Monroe came off the bench and didn't get a ton of minutes, Henson is so inconsistent and Makr is very raw. Monroe only has one more year, they can trade him now (assuming he doesn't exercise his player option) and move up to a top 10 pick in one of the deepest drafts in a while. No matter what they do, they can't beat LeBron's team in the playoffs, trade Timo in his expiring year for a 2nd rd pick or 2.

As far as raw, Spencer Hawes (Vet) also is a backup Center in Milwaukee, 7'1" 265 lbs. Plus Maker (Rookie), Plus Henson, (Vet) Plus Monroe, (Vet) So, Actually, The Bucks are pretty well set. Monroe didn't get a ton of minutes? are you kidding? e led all Centers in Milwaukee in minutes! As far as "Labron's team" Whose to say HE will be back next year? Why trade Mozgov for a 2nd rd. pick or 2, When if they want to trade someone it would be Monroe. he has more value that Mozgov. I'm not concerned about the Lakers, They have enough problems and issues themselves. As far as fair value, no, None of it! Enjoy the Ball family! You draft One, and get TWO! A player in Alonzo ball, AND apparently an assistant Coach in Lavar Ball! Then again These choices are just suggestions made by us, Non-Team members, the real Trades will com by the teams themselves, and apparently Anyone can see that the Bucks and kings would pass. Why would they want to make another team better than themselves?

Laker trade ideas always the same, let's shed two terrible contracts on smaller market teams. Because after all we are the Lakers and we are entitled. Blah Blah Blah- Both Milwaukee and Sacramento pass. Keep paying those bucks to Deng and Mozgov L. A.

Dude Monroe averaged 22 mpg last season. Those are backup minutes. That goes to show how weak they are currently (we'all see how Maker develops) at C if he logged the most minutes at 22 per game at C. Hawes is listed as PF, but it doesn't matter. Plug somebody else in Monroe's spot whose making similar money to Mozgov on an expiring deal to make it worth the Lakers wild. I don't want Monroe, his contract fits with clearing cap space in 2018.

The point is they trade a guy who's playing only 22 mpg for a bad contract to move up 7 spots to get into the top 10, which most experts are saying is 10 or 11 deep this year. I don't understand how that's not fair value for them?

The King's deal is solid for both teams. The #2 pick THIS year is an all star (I have my doubts about Ball, but Fultz and Jackson are) . They don't need more rookies, they need GOOD rookies. Here's their draft track record.

#8 Chriss (traded for Pappgiannis)
#6 WCS
#8 Stauskus
#7 McLemore
#5 T Robinson
#7 Biyombo
#5 Cousins*
#4 Evans
#12 J Thompson
#10 S Hawes.

That deal is terrible for the Kings and fairly bad for the Bucks. I think you're blinded by your own fandom.

DUDE? Are you 12, or close to it? Monroe played more at Center than Maker, Hawes, or Henson, They split the remaining minutes. You speak like YOU own the Lakers? "I don't want Monroe? " This is R-E-A-L basketball, Not "Fantasy" basketball. Why aren't YOU a GM somewhere if you have all this wisdom? As rkenne_16 stated, and I agree. This is terrible for the Kings, and bad for Milwaukee. Find some other team (s) to take the Lakers crap! Have fun with the Ball family!
