Golden State / Lakers Trade
Lakers receive: David Lee, Harrison Barnes, Golden State '16 1st round pick.
Golden State receives: Jordan Hill and Lakers '16 or 17 2nd round pick.
Why for the Lakers?
They get Harrison Barnes who's an athletic wing that is an above average defender who is a solid shooter. David Lee is a willing PF that can score, but his main value is his expiring contract. Lakers in addition can get a late 1st round pick for next year considering they wouldn't have a pick for next yr due to the Dwight trade.
Why for the Warriors?
Able to clear playing time and cap space in order to give Draymond Green the money he wants and more minutes. In addition they get Jordan Hill who could potentially thrive in Kerr's system as a PF or even C in a small ball lineup that can shoot the mid-range jumper and is improving his shot. They also get a future 2nd as a sweetener.

Lol, what is delusional about the trade? The Lakers are essentially helping out the Warriors by taking on Lee's expiring.

This trade is ridiculous. Lakers fans are almost as bad as sixers fans in their player valuations

THE WARRIORS aren't GIVING UP A STARTER AND A 1ST JUST TO DUMP LEE!! THEY CAN RESIGN DRAY FOR THE MAX EVEN WITH LEE ON THE ROSTER!! So stop posting trades where the Warriors give up a bunch of value to dump lee. At most, I see them giving up a 1st. At the most. Otherwise we'll just keep him until his contract expires next season.
