I acquire Thaddeus Young who is playing extremely well this year and will help me potentially contend. Avery Bradley and Marcus Smart are similar in value, however Smart's contract is slightly larger and I needed him to make the deal for Thaddeus Young work. I also trim some of the fat off my team with guys like Crowder, Ross, and Biyombo being involved. I am losing a lot of draft picks but I really don't value 2nd rounders that much so I'm not worried. This also helps a great deal with my cap situation next year as I was going to be -1.5m but now I have lots of room. Lakers get his youth and a pair of picks.

I accept

[Los Angeles Lakers]

I accept, I like the adds of both Smart and Crowder to my team especially being a team trying to get young talent. Young should be on a playoff team with the way he is playing right now. Bradley is also young and good but the 2 for 1 (Smart, Crowder) for the next two years was just to good to give up. Young wasn't fitting into my plans this year and wasn't getting a re-sign
