I must say, I know the Lebron effect should not be understated, but ADs Achilles issue has me wondering if that 2022 Lakers pick has a lot more potential value than appears on the surface. Theres a long list of big men with lower leg/foot issues that have completely derailed careers. If it was a shoulder or something, I would say meh; but an lingering Achilles injury is absolutely something to monitor.
Point is, I dont think I would be so quick to trade the Lakers 2022 pick because I think the value on the open market is outweighed by the potential if AD misses significant time in 2022
