Live broadcast, December 30 news recently, the famous Bill Simmons was interviewed and talked about the Lakers.
He said, “I’m sorry, I don’t feel sorry for them. They gave away everything they had to trade to trade Davis and tried to win the championship-of course they also won the championship. The transaction achieved what they wanted, but they also gave up eight years of assets.”
“If you pay eight years of assets to trade only one player, we will not be surprised because you became a not so good team in 2023. This is the risk of sending away the eight-year talent show and Ingram. They traded all these things.”
In 2019, the Lakers got Anthony Davis from pelicans and paid Ingram, Bauer, Josh Hart, and the 4th sign in 19 (Hunter was selected), 2 first-round signatures +2 first-round signatures swap rights and cash.
