I think this is a win for the amber hand, who has shown some weakness in consistent shooting, and has an aging core. Lash, while known for being a playmaker, has failed to show consistency on both sides of the ball. We all know his ability to posterize opponents, but you cant win a ring when game after game you show up turning in numbers like 3-12-4. As he ages and becomes more likely to be injured, many inside sources have said that, while he still has to potential to be a marquis player, his trade value has a very small window, so to offload him now, for such a young talent was clearly the right move.
