    That Lakers' pick needs to be something more substantial. However, the ULTIMATE would be if that was included, the Lakers didn't make the Playoffs, and then the pick jumped into the Top-3.

    Oh my god... I know we got completely fucked on Friday but I have wanted to be rid of Neil, Terry and CJ for so very long and today finally seems like the day that will happen. Wow!

    Yeah and it also needs to have a first still coming to us if and most likely when it's not conveyed.

    Josh Hart has a PER of 15.5 this year, which by definition makes him an above-average starter. He also has above-average defensive metrics, and his VORP this season is higher than CJ's.

    Josh Hart is a good player and a team friendly deal at $12-13 million per year. Not sure how this all works out, but I don't mind getting him.

    It just needs to be backed up with one of their 8 other first rounders down the road. When it goes to Memphis we just get one of the three 2024 firsts.

    Josh Hart is good, but I was hoping to turn CJ into a starting 4

    If it goes down, I will wish CJ well. This move needed to be done years ago, curious to see the final deal and wondered which will be the move next?

    To be fair, Hart has been starting at the 4 all year.
