The Trade

This trade seems pretty basic. There are no hidden protected picks or even a third team, but really just exchanging two young prospects and two veterans.

Personally, I do not like this deal because I believe that Kenneth Faried has a greater trade value than Nick Young. If the Lakers throw in a second round pick, then maybe we would be talking. But, from my perspective, Denver would be giving up too much for Randle in this trade.

This is trade is what the “rumors” have been all about. Feel free to leave a comment on your thoughts on this trade and continue to read how this trade would impact each team.
