Lakers get exactly the offensive center (Val) that LeGM requested, Kuzma in the underrated prime of his career, and a glimmer of a chance Davis can be another contributor as he slowly rebuilds himself

The Wizards get a lockdown but injury prone defender (Vando) on a long deal to anchor the squad, recoup value getting Rui back, and uhmm, honestly don’t play Gabe Vincent in the interest of their young guards but he does make the money work.

The Wizards stand to get a lot of draft capital from the Lakers, that just have their value far ahead, which as far as I’m concerned as a Wiz fan, is even better, as these Lakers-owned picks will time up with the inevitable catastrophic end of the LeBron era in LA.

Sacrificing picks and side characters is something LA should do to give their 2 superstars a final shot, and the Wizards, while the picks obviously align with their goals, can keep a deeper, well rounded but less talented ovr roster that backs up Coulibaly, Sarr, Kispert, etc without detracting from them
