I don’t necessarily care that Dwight and Russ are making their way to Los Angeles. I don’t care that Patty Mills is heading to Brooklyn. Neither of the ideas behind moves like these — veterans to LA, shooters to Brooklyn — are LaMelo having fun with a full-court outlet pass or arrowing a pass in transition. It’s not Giannis, Steph, or Luka bending the game to their generational will. It’s not Jokic’s brain in action. (And who will score more points in a three-way game anyway — the Lakers, the Bulls, or the Nets? Which defense amongst these three will fail the most?)
