In what has been a quiet trade deadline so far, the Los Angeles Lakers traded Steve Blake to the Golden State Warriors for Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks. It’s a pretty insignificant trade, all things considered. Blake is a solid backup point guard, which Golden State needed, but it was mostly a money-saving move for the Lakers

Except for one important element, which makes Los Angeles the clear winners of this deal:

Bazemore and Robert Sacre are now teammates.

Sacre was already one of the greatest bench cheerleaders in the world, with a highlight reel that would make Patty Mills jealous.

Now, they’re adding Bazemore, a human highlight reel in his own right.

In other words, it’s over for other teams. Nobody has the firepower to compete with the Lakers’ Bazemore-Sacre duo. This is the most dangerous team-up of superstars since Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.

Once Nick Young, the Swagtime Lakers’ namesake, comes back, just call off the rest of the season.
