At the time, it seemed as if we got the worse end of the trade, especially because Kobe didn't want to see this player leave the team - Steve Blake.calderons contract, NY, and Lou, maybe even boom boom are pieces the team can moveWho here thinks Lakers will make any sort of deal prior to the deadline?
but the lakers know they dont have to make any deals, especially those that dont favor them.
i started to dig Rubio coming over...especially if it involved moving Deng
whens the last time we got the worse end of a trade?
srs
However, it was essentially a salary dump since we received a traded player exception of $2.8 million in return. Looking back now, we really gave away Blake for nothing. The key player we received in return for the Blake trade was Bazemore, and he didn't even last a year with the Lakers and is a starter in Atlanta and doing well. If I'm not mistaken, I believe we also renounced the $2.8 million exception so we didn't really do anything with it.
And the player we got the following season who eventually replaced Blake at starting PG? Yup, Jeremy Lin. And we all know how that turned out.
