Fultz is the only guy in this draft better than Russell in my opinion.

He's got 2 years of pro experience and would help us more than any rookie would next year.

See Russell play tonight and you'll see what I mean.
I have 5 guys whose ceilings I see as higher than Russell so wouldn't do the trade. I also don't like Russell's game. He is an inefficient scorer who is shoot first and second and pass third and turns the ball over a lot. He is a Laker...let him stay a Laker.
Are you comparing the ceiling of each of those 5 to Russell's performance now, or to Russell's ceiling? Russell is still only 20, so that matters.
Russell's ceiling, of course.
