dudes dont know what they talking abouta 19 year old who averages 15.5 - 5,- 3.5 in the NBA = "aint shyt" and isnt worth the #27 pick?
like... dude could have atleast explained himself
But Brooklyn is in a position to handle his contract though, especially in exchange for a young player like Russel. They dont have to pay anyone anytime soon so they could afford to. They dont have any draft picks for now or the forseeable future so they need to basically amass either picks young stars like D-Lo. This is perfect for them.
WTF were they supposed to do sit there with an expiring Brook lopez and hope they strike gold with the 27th pick?
Brehs, I addressed this already. I was saying that's why THEY thought it was horrible. See post below.

Good trade for the Lakers
Get rid of Mozgov contract and now have more cap space next season.
Can draft Ball in peace. I think this all worked out.

I am not sure why people are saying the Lakers lost here.
That Mozgov contract was going to cause problems in trying to build up their own super team. A young kid needed to be sacrificed and Randle was not going to get that kind of attention.

Look at the quote I replied to. It's in response to Lonzo vs D'lo. Everyone just loves the new toy. Way to early to act like d'lo sucks

I hate this trade. I'm rooting for Russell in BK 
I knew he was going to get moved but I held out hope that they would give him one more year.
He's going to blow up in Brooklyn.

PG better be a Laker tonight or tmrw morning. If so these transactions look good. If not then 
Teams have moved worse contracts than this Mozgov one.
Didn't need to move a solid young player to do it either. Especially when they don't even know for sure if these FAs are even coming for sure...

No.
The guy might be a 40% career shooter and Lonzo will be the better passer out of the gate. Not a good sign when your "all-star" caliber shooting guard fg % actually DIPS in year 2 and will likely never be a pass first guard which will benefit the lakers more if all the plans keep pointing in the direction to get George and possibly LeBron soon.
