Actually we were having good and constructive discussions before you decided to add fuel to a fire that never existed.
Again, who has a problem trading Reaves for the right pieces? I would trade him in a millisecond a Top 10 player, or a projected Top 10 player...
I give up if you are calling them interchangeable and glorified role players. They are surefire perennial all stars. 2 of them are signed to max...
You are joking right? I would trade AR straight up for Chet, Jdub, Castle, or Harper. Both teams have a Big 3 with a bunch of good role players....
That is not true, and what you are claiming is all hypothetical. Luka and AR are PROVEN to be an incredible fit. They had a net rating of +9.3...
Depth has always mattered. But talent has mattered more.
AR has improved a ton in the past 2 years. He's now a much better player than Turner. That's the difference. In my opinion, AR is around the...
I'm of the mindset that the team trading the best player in the trade usually loses the trade.
Ok cool. You're free to bring up other players that you would trade AR for. Like I said, I have not seen a compelling scenario yet.
Nope that's not how it works. You're basically arguing that Luke Kennard would score 30+ pts if given the same opportunity as Curry. There's a...
OK, even at league average Quickley in the 50% percentile, AR is in the 99% percentile. Scoring volume and scoring efficiency have an inverse...
His chances of winning a chip in Ohio aren't any greater than winning it here. And they have no cap space. There aren't any real benefits.
I don't think that'll happen. It's clear he prioritizes family and maintaining continuity. I'm sure he wants to stay in LA. He might consider...
Right, except he's actually a 16-17 pt scorer and his best scoring month in the past two years is 20.5 pts. Compare that to Reaves who's averaged...
Who is this said player that we'll target? I have not seen a single trade scenario that makes any sense. It seems we are going in circles.
BTW if Lebron really cares about winning and his Lakers legacy, he should sign for $20M-ish and I'm sure he'll experience a dramatic 180 in his...
I want Lebron and Rui back for their playoff prowess, but they limit us severely in terms of building a balanced roster. If we can get one good...
Damn, has this thread gone down the toilet. 1) Reaves will demand close to the max, imo. We are lucky if can grab him for around %35M. At that...
Right, that's the quickest and easiest way to acquire what we want, but the consequence is losing an all-star player in the process. So it's...
Those trades don't make sense. Especially the first 2. We're giving up the best player in the trade while also giving up a 1st(s)? Yikes.
