LAL-HOU Trade

[Los Angeles Lakers]

Lakers send 

Damian Lillard - 20.80 , 22.40 , 23.90 , 25.50 
Also eating 5 mill of Lillard contract in 2016/2017 

Rockets send 

2016 1st rounder (3rd overall)
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson - 1.10 , 1.20 , 2.00 , 3.00 
Kent Bazemore - 0.50 

I accept this trade because I clear a ton of cap space, witch allows me to be active in free agency. Also RHJ is a very promising young player who I see becoming a very very important part of my team for the future. Bazemore will be Bazemore he will avg  23 + points for me and I am planning on extending his contract he also will be a big part of my team for next year and years after. Know for the 2016 1st rounder , I get a lottery pick that could turn into Simmons , Ingram , Bender . Witch would complete the core 4 with Dlo , Clarkson , MGK. Yes I realize I am giving up Lillard , yes I know I traded Parker , Okafor and more for him last season. But I knew after that trade went through Lillard would only a rental player, I thought he could push me to become the champ , I was wrong I took the risk and it failed in the end.

I accept the trade because i'm giving up young, cheap players (albeit promising) and a draft pick in a weaker draft for a superstar player. I know i'm taking up a good amount of cap space for Lillard, but he's an elite scoring pg and the #1 option on his team.

The Rockets have some big contracts! Ty Lawson is expiring, Dwight Howard's option will be declined and James Harden is expiring so the cap situation does brighten.

This trade will require a lot of foresight and planning. This might be the start of a championship team with both Lillard and Harden and I'm putting a lot of faith into Houston. I accept.

Thanks for the positive words!!

After talking about this deal with the Magic for a bit, it is legal to give the salary cap out while you don't have the space during the offseason, whereas in season it is not.

It will take a lot of financial balancing with Harden and Lillard on the same team, but no doubt you have 2 of the best players available in the league.

I accept.

Trade passed.
