Ya I always thought that trade was more about saving the lakers season. They are the ones who got off westbrook and added 3 rotational players. They are the ones who looked like they would certainly miss the playoffs and give the pelicans and awesome pick. They were desperate. They should have had to give up more than a protected first. I thought it was weird that the wolves wanted to downgrade their point guard position. Of course everyone was telling me that conley is super duper amazing and losing him would destroy the jazz and destroy lauri and kesslers development and help the wolves so so much. I never thought conley was all that good so i didn't see it that way.

I will always think that trading a starting point guard, backup point guard, a starter'ish forward, a 6th man, and 2 second round picks for what may end up being 2 second round picks is a poor trade. Others might look at that trade and thinks its good. One of those agree to disagree kind of things.

Well that would also include Vegas, since they've been dogs in 14 of their last 20.

Also they are 5-5 in last ten despite being dogs in 9 of 10.. and I would argue the spreads are not set wrong much:

@ATL +5 win
BOS +4.5 loss
@CHI +2.5 loss
@TOR +9.5 loss
@NYK +8 win
ATL -4 win
@GS +5.5 win
@SAC +5 win
@PHO +6 loss
LAL +1.5 loss

They have overperformed recently, despite being negative on win/loss column. Eyeball test also says they have played better as of late.

They were also:

WAS -3.5 loss
CHA -6.5 loss
PHI -3 loss
BKN -4.5 loss

The games where the spread is within 2.5 points are basically a coin flip anyways.

They are 21-22 on the year when they are the underdog and 18-17 as the favorite. What does that tell you?

Yeah but last 10 they are 4-5 as dogs and 1-0 as favorites. Only 2 coinflip games.. still beating the odds.

I agree that DLo helped them to win January but he was brewing toxic stuff and hated Rudy for instance.

I think its more of a 50/50 trade... didnt make them better or worse. Lakers did get significantly better... obviously.

I think 9 is the best we can do, going to have to trade up to get into the top 8. Even if Lauri, JC and Sexton miss the final 8 games, we will still probably end up winning 2 or 3 of them.

We don’t need to trade up we winning the lottery and wolves pick will move into the top three I pray every day and night!!
