LAKERS / SPURS

[Boom]

Probably would've gotten better offers with a trade block for Lane

[UOducksTK1]

Lakers should have added a first or two.

[the goat]

Woulda, coulda, shoulda...

You guys make some decent points (Dawkins is not just average, disagree), but it's funny the loudest are also the teams whose positions would be most threatened

[duckyoubeavers]

definitely prefer the lakers side of this. i gave up more than this for an aging moses

[Skyhooker]

Lane is a top 10-15 player.
Moses was the best player and still the goat.

It's funny the only one who thinks it's a good Lane trade is the one getting Lane

Obviously I think it's a good trade for me bc I would've been willing to give up some more stuff, like a pick or a prospect or a role player. But I'm not going to negotiate against myself.

And nothing towards you specifically, but where was the mob when the Raptors got swindled for Steve Johnson? (Or other similar deals, this came to my mind first) Let's keep the same energy. Yea Spurs probably didn't extract max value for Lane, but it happens even to the best traders.

There's been plenty of outrage on trades. This isn't even close to reaching the level of outrage on other trades - Steve Johnson included.
This doesn't even seem like outrage. It seems more like a bunch of teams scratching their heads.

The biggest thing for me is in the past when dealing with “league owned” teams it’s nearly impossible to get trades through. Let alone trades that favor the gm and not the “league owned” team.

Not at all, I think every gm has made both good and bad trades that favor both sides. This is the first deal with a “public” team that doesn’t HEAVILY favor that team. It’s a great deal for you, but it’s not like you’re preying on a new or bad gm

Career win % of .402.

Might need to switch up your choice of literature.

[The Bean Regime]

Dang Lakers getting personally attacked now.

[Foxyg1396]

Like when the Kings were publicly owned, in order for me to have gotten Schmidt, ownage wanted Barkley and 2-3 1sts…..

[lukeyrid13]

If Lane were on the Celtics, this wouldn't get any public opinion.

Public opinion should be noted when it comes to a league owned team, and I think there is a strong consensus outside of LA that this isn't in favor of the league owned team.

I'd almost argue that the Lakers should give up a 1st to meet league owned criteria, but it's not a huge deal overall.
