I’d argue it was a win-win trade (as much as I don’t like the Lakers). The Lakers did win a championship with AD (even if it was a weird one) and I have a hard time saying any trade that led to a championship is a loss. Now, regarding the Pels, we’re looking at least as good as the CP3 – West years, and arguably better at this point in the cycle. The real problem with the Lakers is not the trade they made with us, but how they jettisoned all of their role players for Westbrook.
