The only Dame to LA, Kuzma to CLE, and Sexton to POR trade that makes a lick of sense

I honestly don't understand this trade but others seemed to think it made sense so I figured I would put my opinion in. If the Blazers are getting Sexton and Love back for Dame they would need pick #3 too. Cleveland would not be willing to part with that pick... but that's not the point. Blazers get to draft Jalen Green, obviously opening up CJ getting traded, with the hopes that a Sexton and Green back court can be something... although the Cavs are trying to trade Sexton because they don't think it can.

Cavs get young players in Kuzma and THT along with Schroder (on a massive $23 mil per year contract) as well as getting off Loves contract and getting a bunch of seconds. Good haul but not worth #3.

Lakers on the other hand will get the best big 3 ever with Dame, AD, and Lebron, but in exchange they will only have 4 firsts over the next 8 seasons (including 2023 swap with Pels) and also only 2 srps. With Lebron retiring before 2025 and both AD and Dame having contracts expiring in 2025, there is no telling the kind of picks they could be giving up from 2025-2028.
