December 31 News Recently, Mingji Bill Simmons was interviewed
, Speaking of the Lakers.
He said: "I’m sorry, I don’t feel sorry for their current predicament. They gave away everything they had in order to get Anthony Davis to try to compete for the championship. Of course they also won the championship. The transaction realized what they wanted.
Wanted, but they also overdrafted 8 years of team assets. If you pay 8 years of team assets just to trade one player, I wouldn’t be surprised that you’re a not-so-good team this year.
That’s the risk of trading eight-year draft picks and players like Brandon Ingram.” In 2019, the Lakers got Anthony Davis from the Pelicans and paid Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Bow
Hall, Josh Hart, and three first-round picks.
