Trade Analysis

Los Angeles Lakers received 2013 second-round pick (protected top 55 in 2013, else extinguished) (not exercised) and sent Chris Mihm in the transaction with Memphis Grizzlies. Neither side created enough durable separation to force a directional result, reflected in the B-/B- grade pairing. The evaluation is retrospective: it weighs what the players and draft assets actually became, while still considering role, age, contract timing, competitive-window fit and identifiable downstream asset conversion.
