Players That Can be Had for Lakers’ $5 Million Trade Exception

Francisco Garcia, F, Sacramento Kings

How he could help the Lakers: At 6’7 he can fill the back up small forward spot left open by Matt Barnes since his injury. Francisco is not the pesky defender that Barnes is but is a far better shooter. He is a career 37 percent 3-point shooter and is currently doing a little better than that this year. He could help space the floor and give room for both for the bigs down low by having a legit shooter out on the perimeter.

Why the Kings would trade him for nothing? He just turned 30 in December and is under contract for two more seasons. The Kings are currently in their youth movement phase and don’t have much of a need for veterans at this point. Francisco would be past his prime when their core young players like Demarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans would expect to evolve into NBA stars. The Kings would stand to save 17 million over 3 years by unloading Garcia for nothing.

I am an avid NBA basketball fan and have been hooked since the days of Magic vs. Bird. The best sound in the world is a b-ball with a tight rotation snapping the bottom of the net. I want to invoke thought and discussion about anything related to the Lakers and the NBA. You can follow me on twitter @fullcourtfern.
