I really like this trade for all teams involved.
Brooklyn do this trade to get unprotected pick from the lakers that’s far out and could have a lot value later. And they’re only giving up one pick that’s swap with Houston in 2027. Only way that’s pick is a good one is if both Houston and the Nets are bad and the 2029 there’s 3 other teams that gets the most favorable of the pick which best case is late first round. And they’re taking a flyer on dalton knect. This is the model OKC did taking on far out picks with the idea they would be good by then and still getting high draft picks. They already got several young players on their roster with not a lot room for late first round talent to get a good look push out the pick is good assets management.
LAL do the trade for their top target in Herb. Two unprotected first is pricey but herb on the great value contract is worth it.
Pelicans do the deal because they get their pick they wanted in this upcoming draft and they get their value they were wanting for Herb
