The Lakers did some good. They’re not going to beat the Spurs or Thunder, but they’re the clear #3 in the West. Carr was an outstanding draft pick too, the last of the good players in what was a deep draft. Unfortunately for Luka, they’re mostly locked in to their team now and out of ammo. Maybe they have one move left to take that atrocious PJ contract off our hands for Dalton and Vando. Getting off that terrible contract should be the Mavs top priority.
Well, but...THAT (the emboldened portion) IS kind of the consensus of the board.
