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.
