I'm making this trade because I don't want any of the players that I am trading and we are going to have a roster limit next year. I had no intentions on siging POrter again. Baynes and Bogdanovic are not a good fit for me. This should also help the Lakers make a run at the title this year.

[Los Angeles Lakers]

Porter and Lou should help me make a run at the title this year , while I can trade or waive Baynes and Bogdanovic , also I won't have to have Dirk's contract next year and this will clear some cap space up for me to make a run a good free agent. I accept

[Dallas Mavericks]

I think you intended to have the $1.3m going to the Lakers, correct?

[mishof]

Yes I did thank you, adjusting now.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Ok, cool. I think you're going to be disappointed if you think Otto Porter Jr. is going to help you make a title run this year but he's got some potential.

I can see why the Jazz are making this trade. I think that first rounder is a steal. Kind of surprised the Lakers were willing to give it up.

I accept.

[Los Angeles Lakers]

2017 first isn't a big deal seeing as port can easily be a top ranked team , and at the end of the year the only player that could be on my team last porter and with him and Williams getting 24 fantasy points or more it will help , I also needed a SF with MGk out.

LAL got some decent players but giving up that 1st might hurt them down the line. I can definitely see where both teams are going with this. Nice trade.

I approve.

[Dallas Mavericks]

Trade passed.
