If for nothing else - Trez joining the Lakers weakens the Clippers. Every time they match up Trez was a difference maker, and Lakers just got a *lot* faster by adding Schroder & Trez.

They knew Dwight was going to walk - and while he was a huge contributor this year - the Lakers in playoff crunch time were playing smaller, faster lineups for the majority of the time and I think Trez will fit exceptionally well with this squad which will be far more uptempo this year on offense.

Also - with AD anchoring the defense, it's not so imperative that Trez is an all-defense level guy. He'll be able to take more risks getting out on fast breaks where he is a monster.
