Yup

Somehow missed this response but thanks for replying and can’t disagree with your points. It’s a calculated gamble to trade for Victor but a trade like this with risks is probably the only way to land a third superstar for the Lakers.

I don’t like this trade as much as I like the Turner trade but it was listed as #1 because it’s a legitimate opportunity to land a third star as the Rockets are going to trade Victor to somebody. I just hope if it happens, it would be to the Lakers rather than some team like the Clippers or Jazz or even Nets. Problem is always that it’s not who has the best trading chips but who’s willing to put them on the line.
