Zach Lowe proposes the Lakers go after Trae Young.
Udonis Haslem:
"Hell no, I don't like that. If you want Trae Young, then just keep DLo. That's 19 points a game right there on 47% shooting and 41% from 3. He may not be a great defender but he forsure as hell better than Trae"

Fun Fact: In the 2009-2010 season, Kobe Bryant hit 7 Game Winners in total for that season. This was the most by a single player in one season.
ALSO, had Kobe missed these game winners and the Lakers lose those games. LA would have been the 8th seed instead of the 1st seed
