No matter how I look at it, it seems like the Lakers came out on top in the Chandler deal

‌
In the 1st round, 2nd pick, it's a 2nd round swap, but considering the projected performance of both the Lakers and Utah over the next few years, the pick swap doesn't seem like a huge loss.
Furthermore, looking at how Chandler is playing right now, even if they run with him for 1 or 2 years and then trade him, it looks like they could easily get at least a 1st round, 2nd pick, so it seems like they'll at least break even.
It's unlikely, but if things don't go as planned this year or next, and they decide to move on, they could potentially strip 10 first-round picks by trading away Doncic, Reaves, and Chandler.
When they brought Chandler in, people said it was a move that sacrificed the future, but looking at it now, it seems like a very rational move that secures the present while also capturing future opportunity costs.
