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.

1.) I agree Harrison Barnes will be a great addition, but we don't need another PF. Let me count: We have Randle, Ed Davis, Tarik Black, Ryan Kelly and Jordan Hill, of whom three or four will likely return, and they are all good. The two positions we need BADLY are at 3 and 5, and all the trades need to ficus on that.

2.) Harrison Barnes can also play SF, which the lakers desperately need, because Wes Johnosn can not do it.
