    He averaged 1.6 points a game. He sucked monster a**.

    You are missing the point here. It is not just Austin for Dennis. That would be awful. It is the Kessler trade and this trade working in conjunction with each other. Knecht + 31 1st + 27 protection removal likely wouldn't be enough for Kessler, so adding the 1st trade sweetens the pot for Utah. It's a little nuanced, I know. But teams need to get creative in this apron environment.

    Two separate trades!

    (1) Kleiber + 2025 2nd to Indiana for Neismith

    (2) Reaves + Wood + 2031 1st (top-14 protected) to Indiana for Turner + 2031 2nd

    -Lakers get a 3 and D center and 3 and D POA defender guard

    -Pacers get a guard on a cheap deal who has proven chemistry with their point-guard (USA). Also move up likely 20-30 spots in 31 draft.

    Stop f***ing trying to trade Reaves for scraps. Are you insane?

    There are currently 8 or 9 players with his production and they all make 4 times his money.

    Goddamn, some people. He is, in essence, a rookie contract. These are valuable beyond imagination.

    He is only under contract for 1.5 more seasons. He has a player option after 25-26, where he will most likely opt out.

    So? Trade him then if he called you names. Trading him now, at his 13mil, is insane.

    As Jovan Buha says always “the Lakers won’t trade Reaves for inferior players or picks”

    Lakers already has Koloko,Trey and Traore.What Sims could change ?
    They are looking for someone who can play 25-30 minutes and score at least 12-15 points on average
    I hope

    so what? Reaves is looking like a future All Star he is going to be one of our major building blocks to surround Luka with.

    He's our only hope.

    Reportedly he saw Rob scouring the center market and told him "these are not the centers you're looking for"

    Correct and we still will have Austin’s bird rights because we signed Austin even if we didn’t draft him.

    So it doesn’t matter if his price goes up when this contract is up. We can resign Austin and not have it count against the salary cap.
