Lakers are not in good form and they are lacking some shooting and defense. This trade gives them 4 rotational players for some of their underperforming players. Nets get a first, a couple seconds and two young players for Cam Johnson and Dennis Schroder, Bulls get the two seconds they wanted for Vooch and Blazers get a second for Thybulle and for taking on Vando's contract. Lakers switching Vando for Thybulle is mainly for heath problem. This trade would only be possible after December 15th.
