The Nets don't want to be good this year considering the draft class coming in, they want to be top 5 in the lottery so why not get rid of good pieces that could help someone else. D Lo in the right environment and less pressure can prosper. Rui has been pretty consistent. Lakers get a solid wing defender who happens to be an excellent shooter, which is needed anywhere, and also get a scrappy guard who makes plays and is already used to playing his role LeBron and AD. They also get a potential starting big so that AD can slot back to the four, where he is comfortable. Wizards might have lost Valanciunas, but that just Alex Sarr has more room to grow into the star that Washington believed they acquired when they drafted him.
