 And a few years back, the Lakers won a championship with KCP. A couple years later, they traded him as part of a package to land Russell Westbrook. That turned into a disaster. Now, to be fair, Westbrook proved with the Clippers he can still play. And his defense is much better these days. The Nuggets have quality shooting, and he still gets to the basket at a strong rate. So the fit is better here than it ever was with the Lakers.
