Accept. Green is a franchise-type anchor and LaVine will thrive in his new system - it will be tough to let go of these guys. Same with the Boston pick because my team's timeline ages around then. But Westbrook is too good to pass up. Let's see what he can do next to Curry.

I accept, Green is a beast and Lavine could turn into something great if his knee holds up. I am also getting Bostons 2020 1st rounder which could still be a top 5 pick. Russ is great but I don't think he will put up numbers that he did this year.

I approve.
I think the Lakers could have got a better return but I understand the concern with giving Westbrook a max contract when Paul George is coming over and Brodie set to turn 29 a month into the regular season.

I'll give this one my stamp too. I think this is Lakers going overboard--we all knew Lakers needed to trade one of his superstars, but he had a pretty viable team once he moved Wall, so this is something of a surprise to me. Lakers will probably net a little more FP from this trade, but there's just no replacing a guy who can stuff 2-3 players worth of production into one spot. Nice job, Knicks.

I like this trade for both teams. 2 good players on very good/reasonable contracts + 1st rounder for Westbrook on a Max and needing a re-sign. I can see why Lakers did it, and I suppose it would be difficult to find a place to send a player on a max deal.
The biggest risk in this deal for me is LaVine, a guy who relied on his athleticism coming off an ACL, could take some time to get back into it.
Anyway.. I approve
