Trading all those players for Butler should be a no-brainer for the Lakers, especially if they are serious about maximizing the championship window of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Despite his underwhelming performance in the playoffs, Butler would still be an incredible addition to the Purple and Gold.
He would give them a very reliable third-scoring option behind James and Davis, as well as a great rebounder, on-court facilitator, lockdown defender, and floor-spacer. This season, he averaged 21.5 points, 6.9 rebounds, 7.1 assists, and 2.1 steals while shooting 49.7 percent from the field, per ESPN.
