So kings trade a 5th and 10th for a 3rd pick and former 3rd pick. Sounds like a pretty good deal for them.

Like it but way to much brook the 10th or 28th pick n I don't see them taking to bad contracts maybe give them both of them picks we will still have the #5 pick.

Typically a fair trade is when all teams involved dislike it. To sum up the post, the Lakers would be trading Russell, Black, and 2 second rounders to move up 6 spots in the draft and get rid of Deng and Mozgov without taking on salary past next season.

Lakerwaker - the Kings also trade a second round pick and Jahlil Okafor's current value is nowhere near the top 5 pick in this draft, so you can't consider him as another #3 pick.

Lakers109 - a couple days ago the Nets specifically said they are willing to take on bad contracts as long as they are attached to good draft picks or young talent, because the Celtics still have more of their draft picks to come and they can't start their rebuild.
