WHy Rockets do this?
The Rockets would be much happy to get rid of eric gordons contract and get kevin knox to join their supreme young core.
Why Magic do this?
The rebuilding Magic would love to have a another srp and a wing for Michael Carter Williams expiring contract
Why Knicks do this?
The knicks missed out on potential big name PGs in FA such as Lowry and would shift their focus on schroder due to their cap flexibility plus they would want to move kevin knox and this is an ideal deal for them
Why Lakers do this?
Lakers lineup
PG - Russell Westbrook, Michael Carter Williams and Lou Williams as sixth man
SG - Eric Gordon,Wayne Ellington,THT
SF - Lebron James,Carmelo Anthony,Kent Bazemore
PF - AD,Trevor Ariza,Andre Igoudala
C - Dwight Howard,Marc Gasol
sixth man - Lou Williams using the mid level exception
NOTES - If lakers could somehow convince lou williams for their budget to join lakers to win his first championship that would be the most perfect scenario for them and this lineup as a whole would beat any team any day and this offers multiple starting lineups with AD at 4 or 5 depending on the needs
