According to reports, the Los Angeles Lakers are sending Danny Green and their first-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Dennis Schroder.

On the daily Locked On Lakers Podcast, host Anthony Irwin is joined by Thunder reporter Jon Hamm to discuss the Lakers trade for Dennis Schroder and why both teams won the deal.

Anthony Irwin: I think this is one of those rare deals where both teams say mission accomplished. I think both teams are walking away from this deal really happy about what they brought in.

Jon Hamm: Absolutely, if you read the Twitter reaction from the OKC side, they felt like they should have got a top 10 pick for Dennis Schroder. A lot of smart NBA said they're lucky that the Thunder got anything out of this trade. So if you go in the middle, then you wind up with a late first-round pick and Danny Green who may net another late first-round pick or possibly a couple of seconds. That's a good return for Dennis Schroder and that has nothing to do with Schroder being a bad player at all. I just think the circumstances sort of align that way and I think the Lakers have to be really happy coming away with this and OKC is getting what they want out of it too.

Anthony Irwin: Generally speaking, if I go to the trade machine and I put together a trade I posted on Twitter and I'm getting yelled at by both fan bases generally, I think I make a pretty good trade there. Nobody ever walks away from these trades and says that sure was an easy deal. That almost never happens. I think with this one, the Lakers needed a secondary ball-handler, Schroder's good enough to be a primary ball-handler. They land him he has a decent enough a short enough contract to where their free agency plans aren't completely obliterated next year and moving forward. Apparently, per a few reporters over the course of the day, the Lakers feel like they aren't going to be able to keep Rajon Rondo, which is insane to me. I can't believe that we're actually saying that in 2020 but here we are.
