Been saying this since the series ended. They have to trade Reaves this summer. Luka made him obsolete. They desperately need athleticism on the wings and a center.

I've wanted Jalen Suggs on the Lakers for a while but his contract makes it difficult to work out a trade. Reaves for Suggs framework makes sense for both teams though.
Reaves for Timelord and one of the Milwaukee picks

You trolling :russ:
the inherent issue with Reaves is this

1. Reaves doesn't make enough on his own to matchup salarywise with an ideal C.

2. If you have to attach Rui, that lowers Reaves' value.

3. Reaves is due an extension that may triple what he makes now. At least double. Whoever gets him better think he's a core piece.

Reaves declining that option it sounds like. He’s gonna be traded for the best C they can find

He was always going to decline he can make way more on the open market

But they’d be fools to trade him now dude makes 14 mil. What kind of players are you getting back with that contract?

The players at his caliber make way more and the players around that price range would be straight bums.

Best to wait until he signs his new contract to trade him…

Reaves/salary filler for Claxton works and I think both sides are happy

Williams can’t stay healthy. No GM is trading a player who contributes for him

I need Cam Johnson coming back too if this is the framework of the deal.
Doubtful. I’ve seen GS has been looking to get Cam also.

Not sure the numbers work but if BK could get both Kuminga & AR in separate deals they’d pull the trigger
