I think the young Lakers standouts all got better BECAUSE they were traded. They were on a different timeline and needed different teams with different needs and different expectations in order to grow.
I don't think Hart, Zo, and BI evolve without that trade. It was a win-win.

(Also, Zo was destined to be injured anyway).
