I thought the purpose of a trade was supposed to make your team better. How does Westbrick make the Lakers better? Especially in a very competitive Western Conference?

The Jazz and Suns will be back. The Clippers, even without Kawhi, are still a dangerous team. The Nuggets, when healthy are a top 3-4 team. And the Warriors are getting Klay Thompson back and they’ve got two lottery picks and a developing Wisemen to work with.

It just seems like every other team is getting better or maintaining, while the Lakers just got worse.

LeBron and Davis are about to find out why KD didn’t want to play with him anymore.

Unless this is just some elaborate long plan to get Damian Lillard, the Lakers just came out of this worse.
