Whatever happens with the Lakers, and with Antetokounmpo, they will be part of what is certain to be a critical summer in the NBA, no matter the direction each takes. Said the exec:
“Definitely a big summer. There is going to be a lot of movement this summer, there are going to be a lot of trades, before the draft, after the draft in July, going into August and September. There are a lot of teams that see themselves in need of a change, so you will see some bad contracts getting moved around with the hope that, new location new results. And you will see some financial moves, if you can set yourself up to get under the tax, which we saw at the deadline too. “There will be some blockbusters but maybe not as many as some people hope. But, look, if we have two, three blockbusters in one summer, where a few teams are involved in each—that is a big deal.”
