Why Brooklyn Does This:
Brooklyn got some really nice young guys to develop along with a lot of future draft picks. They need to offload some of their older guys who don't look to be apart of their future.
They get future picks and a nice young piece in Bones Hyland who looks to revitalize his career in a much larger role.
Getting P.J Tucker on an expiring contract is a great vet to have in the locker room.
They waive Kevin Huerter and Gabe Vincent in this trade, giving them some cap space space and increased opportunity for the younger guys.
Why Los Angeles C Does This:
With their current roster they're missing a few pieces to push them into a tier 2 team in the West.
They are giving up guys who wont even get guaranteed minutes next season for 2 really solid role players
They only give up a lottery protected pick in 2030
Why Sacramento Does This:
Sacramento are a good team this year with the acquisition of Derozan.
One thing they could use is some added depth defensively. Particularly from the forward postion.
Finney-Smith adds that, and Terrence Mann also add's a 3 and D guy who can be trusted.
Why Los Angeles L Does This:
They get a great backup PG who can even start during D'Los possible inefficient stretches.
Schroder knows the Lakers, knows their system. So adds some much needed rapport towards this team.
They only lose 2 seconds as well
