Lakers needed Dennis Schröder, but allowed Thunder to cash in on Danny Green

New York Times  

Give the Lakers credit: They’re not resting on their laurels. Whatever else you think of the reportedly agreed-on trade of Danny Green and the 28thpick in the draft for Dennis Schröder, let’s at least acknowledge that. Finally, to the extent long-term considerations matter for a team in the Lakers’ position, trading Green for Schröder is helpful. Green had to be in the deal because it was the Lakers’ only plausible matching contract, but they could have done some advance work here and come out of this considerably better. Instead, the Lakers let the Thunder win this trade twice: First, by turning Schröder into a late first, and then a second time when the Thunder inevitably trade Green.
