I don't hate the LA trade, but it will never happen. The Kings are stuck with PLD for the next 4-5 years.
Blake is the one that would need to pull the trigger on this trade, and doing so would be admitting that he was wrong about PLD's potential and essentially gave away 4 strong assets in return for nothing. Especially coming so soon after the Petersen dump, a failure of this magnitude would cost him his job.
The Dubois trade and extension will likely eventually cost Blake his job anyway, but holding onto him in the hope that he will emerge sometime over the next few seasons is his only chance at saving his job.
