    Ahhh. Finally!

    You might be right, but I never thought Luka would be available this early in his career.

    But the fact that you conceded to trading Reaves is mission accomplished.

    Right player, right deal, right fit, and we need to be ready.

    @LTLakerFan bite me.

    again, pretty sure nobody said they'd never trade reaves for anything. that's your strawman.

    we said we wouldn't trade him for JJJ (smart) or for like, herb jones.

    I'm sure you did; you don't speak for the entire forum, and the s*** I come across my screen.

    Isn't no strawman. Because if you really asked a few posters here, they would keep him and not trade him for anybody.

    Sorry, Reaves fanboys are delusional.

    I blame Rich Paul for the JJJ talk going off the rails if I'm being honest

    I'm glad he did; we need to start having these discussions centered around Reaves, IMO.

    He's our best asset by far this summer, and if he's re-upped, teams are going to ask for him if we inquire on other All-Stars that are just better 2-way fits, IMO.

    Whether it would be this summer or whenever, it's likely to happen unless we strike in FA.

    I'd be willing to try the Luka/Austin combo if we grabbed a Peyton Watson & a mobile PF (thinking a souped up Vando) if we can find one. Try it. You'll have a large enough sample size until next Feb to see if it works.

    Yeah. I think if we get the right guys next to them then we would be able to compete. If I'm wrong, then you can still move Austin later. I do think its worth exploring if those two can work longterm.

    Sure, but I'd be quick with the plug if something better comes along.

    That was all I asked in the first place since you jokingly I assumed indicated AR might be back soon.

    ;)

    if it's not a strawman, you need to show me the people here who espouse this belief.
