NO Pelicans Trade:
NOP 2019 1st Round Pick
SG Kevin Huerter, $3.0m (2021)
SG Anfernee Simons, $1.0m (2021)

LA Lakers Trade:
PF/C Julius Randle, $4.1m, (2018)
SG/SG Denzel Valentine, $2.8m (2019)


Lakers trade out a top-notch big man to get two young guards and a pick. Throwing in Valentine kind of hurts as I think he'll have another good season building on last year, but hopefully in a couple of years Huerter can put up similar stats.

Adding some more youth to the team for the future, after signing a lot of middle to older age veterans in free agency so far.

Thanks for the trade talks Brent, took a little while but we finalized something that works for both teams.

Cheers

Didn't you just land Z? Chara is like 41 or something! Typically goalies have a longer playing career than D, but I'll give you that Z may be the exception. Seriously, that guy ate his twin brother in the womb!!

Anyhoo, I'm not thinking much beyond this season. Smith is the starter on a super-stacked team! I'm happy to be associated with him but I'll move him for a reasonable price. If you're serious about winning, a 300 point producer like Smith could put a contender over the top. Basically free of charge... for like a pick or a prospect. That's a win-win in my books. But yeah, fully paid for sure. 

Z should still be serviceable. I had to go all-in for some of the "best" D out there since the NHL decided to suspend Nate Schmidt 20 games for doing nothing wrong... (From what I've read and listened to).

Hey man, can't knock your logic and strategy. I did the same thing about 3 years ago when I entered this league.
I think I got Cal Clutterbuck for like $13m for 1 year, and then I traded him for something fully paid for (while he was still putting up half decent points along with his 1000 hits a season).

1 year at $5.2m

4 years, $0.5m per

4 years, $0.5m per

Confirmed.
