Patrick Beverley, former Los Angeles Lakers point guard, shared his thoughts on the team's recent trade involving Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton. The Lakers traded away Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks to the Brooklyn Nets, a move that Beverley discussed on his podcast.
Beverley noted that Lakers fans' strong opinions about players can negatively impact the team’s ability to build a competitive roster. He emphasized that fans often undervalue players, thus hindering potential trades. His own experience with the Lakers, where he played briefly, highlighted how public perception can affect player value.
