Monday is the official day that NBA teams can make trades, and we have our first agreement trade. The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to trade guard Danny Green and the 28th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft to the Thunder for guard Dennis Schroder.
Schroder had a successful 2019-20 season in Oklahoma City Thunder averaging around 18 points a game while finishing in the top 3 in the Sixth man of the year race.
The Lakers now will have a solid point guard as they will be competing to win another title in 2021.
My Thoughts
Honestly not a bad trade for the Lakers.
Danny Green is not the shooter like he was in San Antonio anymore, and we all saw him in the bubble and Lakers fans would beg him to not shoot the ball. I think the Lakers made the right decision getting rid of him and getting a guard who had a very good season in Oklahoma City.
I personally think that they should’ve traded for Derrick Rose as he is a cheaper contract and just as good, but all in all its still a good trade.
For OKC, I could see more moves with Chris Paul possibly on the move and Danilo Gallinari choosing a different destination. I wouldn’t be surprised if you see Danny Green request a buyout or trade as he will probably want to go to a team that wants to win.
Im excited to see more moves and to see what happens with the draft and free agency!
