Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

Haha, it’s all in good fun. Luka is looking in great shape but the fat jokes are genuinely funny.

 

We need to get this guy!!!

 

Austin to be Traded:

 

Nope.
I had to turn it off after hearing Rivers claim that MVP awards are “stats.” No, the Regular Season MVP trophy is meaningless. It’s a popularity award. I’m not going to list the years in which Kobe was the best player in the NBA, again, but it was at least 8 straight seasons.

 

Austin Reaves + Maxi + Gabe + 1st rounder for Zion.

Who says no?

 

I’m not anti fatties, but I still say no. Availability matters.

 

Unless Weight Watchers is having a two for one special, then maybe there’s potential there…

 

Honestly, I'd do it.

Reaves gets paid $30 million next season so his value isn't as good as it will be the way it is based on salary purposes.

Interesting to see how any team stops a LeBron, Luka, Zion, Ayton, and Smart lineup. The size alone, despite poor shooting, would absolutely overwhelm teams.

 

Zion and Ayton with Luka, damn (plus another guy after Bron goes bye bye). I would give it a serious thought...

 

except all major players will miss substantial time most likely

Nobody on that squad plays 70 games

 

Zion stops himself every season by his unwillingness to take his fitness and career seriously. I would only sign this dude as a vet minimum.
Throwing away our second best player(when LeEgo bounces) for a dude who plays 30 games a season, would be more disastrous than the Westbrick trade.

 

Not interested in Austin for Zion. I am interested in Zion as a buy-low 2nd star candidate after LeBron retires/moves on to pair with Luka and Austin.

 

I’d rather hope the best version of Ayton already here and happy so continuing to be that version …. happens?

 

NO

 

i think NO says no, but i also think we probably don't even offer.

i'm definitely intrigued by luka/reaves/zion together, though, and i don't know that it's impossible, either. some things would have to break certain ways...
