Wouldn't AD's contract be 36 if he was at 30 last year? (30*1.2) - Last year is gone on the sheet so I can't really tell but since he was on a max in real life, assuming he was on a max here
I agree to this trade. If I were to not be making this trade, I wouldn't have been able to extend AD's contract due to having only $28m in cap space (his contract would be $30m/year) and would be losing him either way.
This trade helps me solidify on my team depth with added reinforcements in all positions. If healthy, John Wall can still put up very decent numbers. I see some good upsides with Daniel Gafford and Doug McDermott's contributions to their team depths. Gafford, if given 36 minutes per game (he has an above average PER of 22.26), Gafford averaged 20.6 points, 11.3 boards, 3.6 blocks, 1.1 steals. In his longest run at 27 minutes so far back in April, Gafford's performance included 4 blocks and 4 steals. Time will tell how these good projected numbers translate into real production when Gafford gets a bigger role and I'm willing to be patient with him on this for some time.
Sorry for some initial confusion but hopefully this 3-way is better on the Lakers end and good all-around. Thanks to Vik and Brian for the trade.
