Luka Dealt to Lakers: Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist

[hakeemfaan]

One benefit the Lakers have is their ability to find second round picks and undrafted guys who can play in the NBA.  They have been excellent on the fringes.  Something Dallas doesn't really seem interested in.  A lot of their players they develop/uncover don't wind up playing mostly for LAL, but the more you do this the sooner you find a guy like Reeves.

Pippen Jr, Huff, Caruso.  There is a list around 10 deep that they have found or developed.

We got Brunson who is better than all of them combined but we let him go.  This is not hindsight. You can go back and check the posts here. Many of us said that they should have given him the max and he would still be a reasonable piece to move given his talent despite his defensive limitations. This was even without us realizing the next step he would take.
