This is the Russ trade + other complimentary pieces. Lakers - benefit getting a veteran point guard, his weaknesses will be there but surrounding their stars with shooters is the simplest answer to alleviate the weakness, Hield is that shooter. Richardson would replace Pope, not as good in shooting and defense, but at the very least a wing defender.

Wizards get well.....get cap filler in Schroeder, THT has potential so they'd want to see what he's got. I woudldve put Kuzma in the trade but they already have Hachimura, Avdija, & Bryant loggin in the front court, so they might pass on him, compensating a 1st round pick in return. TBH, despite Russ having a resurgent season, his trade value is still nowhere near respectable. No other contender is saying "Russ is our missing piece", nor would any lottery team want him since he'd will them to the playoffs and just decrease their lottery chances. I doubt Russ would listen to the front office & just start playing tank ball.

Mavs fans need to let go of Kleber & Powell, I know they do good on their respective roles, but they don't fit Luka's timeline anyway, they arent sexy trade assets either. This isnt a championship trade for the mavs, but at least gets them offense other than Luka. If Kuzma doesnt pan out and remains just a bad 12-15ppg scorer then his contract is tradeable at 13 mil. My envisioned lineup for the Mavs is Brunson-KCP-Luka-Kuzma-Porzingis. With THJ & Trezz coming off the bench, that would give dallas an good defensive back court, & a bench than can actually score & not blow leads. Trezz may not be a floor spacer like Kleber but at the very least he can score on his own, and bring energy. Don't sleep on KCP, he's good defensively and shot 41% from 3, he's miles better than Richardson.

Kings.... well, 2 first round picks for a guy who wanted out two years ago, Green's got upside, but who knows, he might be a good role player. I honestly don't know what to say for the kings. A lot of contenders would want to add Hield, but the rumors have been going on for so long that i cant determine how much those teams value him or even how much the kings value him
