  • Pure tanking: Tor-LA

    http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=m76g539

    Toronto gets: Steve Nash, 2014 first rounder
    LA gets: Lowry, Gray

    Why toronto does this: to get the 2014 first rounder. that's literally it. Nash probably never actually plays as a raptor as he retires some time this year. joins head office. Canadians jizz themselves.

    Why LA does this: to get out of Nash's contract. Even with Nash, they're going to have TONS of cap space. Take Steve out and they'll have enough to sign a max deal and a bunch of solid deals for proven talent.

      LA does have their 2014 pick, but their 2015 pick is owed to Phoenix, top 5 protected (Steve Nash trade). They also owe their 2017 first round pick, or next available pick, to Orlando. The earliest first round pick that Lakers could trade (outside of draft night) is 2019, and that is assuming the protections don't delay anything.
