Heat retain Leonard
Let me start by saying I really like Devonte Graham. He leads the Hornet with 7.9 3-point attempts per game, making 2.7 of them per game, for 34.5%, right around the Lakers team average. That works out to 8.1 points per game from deep. He’s obviously the volume 3-point shooter and playmaker the Lakers could use/
In addition, Devonte averages 5.7 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1 steal per game. His 4.1 net rating is also tops of rotation players on the Hornets and he averages 13.2 points per game. He’s only shooting 35.0% from the field so he struggles other than three.
Giving up KCP, Caruso, and THT is a lot. I had proposed earlier a straight trade of Devente for THT. So how does the Bismack for Gasol trade look? Not a big fan of that. So bottom line, I wouldn’t do this deal.
However, I might be tempted to trade Caruso, THT, and Matthews for Graham and Monk. See post above.

The $ number reported (I believe by @ShamsCharania forgive me if I got that wrong) for Wes Matthews is BAE money – that doesn't mean they are using BAE, could be part of taxpayer MLE – but if it is BAE< Lakers would be hard-capped at ~$139 mil

Can confirm reports that free agent guard Wes Matthews plans to sign with the Lakers, the bi-annual for one year at $3.6 million.

For Wes Matthews, being able to step directly into a starting role with the Lakers created by the Danny Green trade to OKC was too good to pass up, per source. One instance where the compressed end of season/draft/FA period/start of next season probably didn’t help Milwaukee.
