Smart----Horford----Shreoder to the Lakers For Russell WestBrook and their 2026 1st round pick unprotected..Both Teams are having chemistry issues.. Russell is not a great fit next to Lebron and The Brow... Russell I think would be great with the Js and Robert Williams... The Lakers get a Center that can still be huge with Big Al and their Point D.S back and the toughness and craftyness of Smart.

Russell is hands Down the best player in this trade, but because of his salary is a tough player to trade. The first rounder is pretty much compensation for the 47 mil owed next season if Russell doesn't pan out with the Celtics.. I believed the Assist, Points and rebounds that come with Russell would be huge, his style of play would be great with Rob Williams and Two studs at the Wing...

The Lakers needs upgrades in many areas Marcus, Big Al and D.S are just the injection that that team needs.. AL could end up being the most important piece giving Davis the option to player the four, where he is happiest. Marcus would just need to be Marcus next to Lebron. Dennis is a big missing piece that the Lakers have sorely missed. Dennis is a baller and plays well with Lebron.. Make no mistakes Lebron is still a beast and a three headed monster who can still win a championship for another year or two with the right core of players around him, Russell and Lebron do not fit so they must E-quit... THE Celts are at 500 and so are the Lakers. Why not make a change, this could actually help both teams... The Salaries work and get the Celts about 3 million lower and help to keep us under the cap.. The Lakers are trying to win a ring now!!! Three core guys around The King and Davis could pull it off in my opinion and grab another ring.....
