Lakers fans your PG of the future Kendall Marshall!

Confirms the Lakers tank season as my prediction prior to the season start. They just shipped out FatAntoni's favorite backcourt player for nothing. 12th is not an understatement anymore but overstatement now. Embiid/Wiggins/Jabari/Randle are well within the reach now. I am hoping the Celtics counters this obvious Lakers' tank move.

On non relevant note... WOW First Jordan Crawford, and now Steve Blake. Say good bye to 1st place, my fantasy league team. First injury hits and now this.

Solid deal for the Warriors, kind of neither here nor there for the Lakers given the season they're having and the fact that all players involved have expiring contracts.

hopefully the cavs get first pick, but knowing the cavs we'll draft some juco guy and tank the next 3 years...

What a timing. Out of all those years, the win-now-mode Cavs chose this season to compete.

I hate how the Lakers traded away D'Antoni's favorite Steve Blake when it was heavily rumored that they'd unload their bigs.
