Its a lot. But if its a major factor in keeping Giannis, its worth it.

Bucks are also are getting Bogdan Bogdanovich in a sign and trade for Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova and DJ Wilson.

I like this move...surprised Utah is done with him. Wrong brother but still surprised Sac didn't get more.

Probably puts them above Boston. Boston has a lot of ammunition to get better also.

A Kyrie/Harden/Durant trio should be good for NY Post headlines but don't know how Nash can keep them all happy.

Lakers trade Green and #28 for Schroeder. Thoughts?

Not sure.

Never been a Schröder fan. Doesn't play much defense, is just an OK passer and turns it over too much, and has always been a poor shooter that gets his points by taking a ton of shots.

But somehow he shot WAY over his head last year. 47% overall and 39% from 3 on 5/game. That's nuts for a guy who was a career 43/32 shooter and only hit better than 34% of his 3s one time previously (all way back in 2014).

If the shooting is real and not an outlier, he could help. But if he regresses to a guy who scores 13 points on 12 FGAs, he won't help at all.

That said, Danny Green looked surprisingly cooked last year.

Thanks for the rundown. I read about his shooting % spike.

Danny Green, all he does is win championships even when he plays like he's 40 years old.

This is a home run for Lakers. Green is nearing the end.

Having said that. Lakers need to find some more consistent 3 point shooters.

Its absolutely a home run if you get 2019-20 Schröder.

Its absolutely not if you get 2013-18 Schröder.

Definitely need a lot more 3 point shooting. If you lose Green, KCP and Bradley, that's your 3 best shooters from last year.

But I'm sure there will be at least a few snipers looking for a ring that will join up cheap.
