Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[KillerLeft]

For the short term, yes.  But how long will AD hold up?  He's out again with a abductor injury and won't play vs the Kings. That's the $64 dollar question. Lakers traded for Luka long term.

Exactly. 

And, regardless of how smart/dumb anyone thinks Harrison is (my opinion has oscillated back and forth a great deal since he got the job) he doesn't do this if he thinks "long term Luka" is worth the investment. Period. About that point, will he be wrong, or will he be right? At the end of the day, that answer is all that's going to matter.
