2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

I think Reaves is an asset they want back, but if their approach is as you say, it doesn’t guarantee he’s in the long term plans.

Business is business.

 

All I’m saying this is L.A. I just saw the Rams trade for Myles Garrett. You never know.

 

Jerrod Verse won NFL defensive player of the year Rookie. But it’s Garrett so you get better you’re elevated to Super Bowl status.

as good as Verse is Garrett is better.

so as good as Reaves is if you get better or are offered better you gotta get better.

 

Yeah we differ on some things opinion wise and agree on others, but you are out here with a thousand different ideas constantly, no point me honing in on any of them. Am just saying Walter and the FO undoubtedly have plans and right now from all appearances, until further notice AR is in them. Yet you have AR going hypothetically here and there. What's the point, since you and all of us expect he (Mark) and they(FO under Mark) are going to be on their game with ALL of the moves.

 

trey murphy?



williams and davis (assuming AD, if he's still alive?) are also fairly debatable.

but it doesn't matter if they're not, because i don't think anyone is taking reaves for them anyway (actually, pretty sure NO takes reaves for murphy and i'm 1000% sure the wiz take reaves for davis).

so we're back to the same stupid argument--is your contention that reaves shouldn't be re-signed? or shouldn't be re-signed at a number over XXm (which is basically the same thing, imo)? if so, come out and say it. but these hypotheticals involving comparing him to franchise players and supermax players and such is not worth discussing. he's an unrestricted free agent, and most of the players listed either aren't on the block at all or are on the block seeking a totally different kind of return.

not a single reaves fan on the forum has said that reaves could never be traded in the future should a better player become available. that's a strawman.

you re-sign your homegrown all-star level talent at the lowest max possible (if need be), and you move forward. it's not like reaves will have a no-trade clause, and if he's as s***ty as some suggest, then paying him 40 instead of 35 shouldn't matter, as no one would touch him in trade at either price, right?

 

Sure, I would trade Austin for Brown but not Kyrie who is at the very end of his career.
I’d can’t wait for this off season to be over so I don’t come here every day and have to read that Austin is the problem, when in fact, he’s not.
Luka has a strong friendship with him off the court and loves playing with him on it.
