The Lakers sent Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, the 4th pick in the draft, additional future first round picks and Pelicans have the right to swap future draft picks with the Lakers. That’s quite the haul for the 26-year-old superstar, but one I anticipated.
Before the weekend, I wrote that I’d been given an exclusive report that the Lakers and the Pelicans had a deal in place that would look much like the deal that was agreed upon. Though, instead of the Lakers dealing Kyle Kuzma, they added in a couple of future first round picks, which at the very most is equivalent to Kyle Kuzma’s value.
