Duh. That's the point. Was told they blew the chance to get Kuz by not dealing early, and I said quite possible they preferred the 4 to Kuz. You disagree?Because when the trade was suggested, the Lakers didn't have the #4 pick yet. They were projected to have the #11 pick. That's part of why other teams could have beaten their offer.
The combination of the Lakers getting the #4 pick (which was much more attractive) and AD poisoning the well for other teams by saying he wouldn't re-sign with them is why AD is a Laker.
