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....
Austin Reaves + Maxi + Gabe + 1st rounder for Zion. Who says no?
LeBron has an ego. He's not retiring without a farewell tour and it'll probably be the biggest one in any sport for a player. IMO, the only way...
I'm giving the Lakers an A with getting Vuc or Horford an A+. They essentially improved their roster without giving up any assets or committing...
Lakers got a starting caliber player who plays good defense and hustles for basically free. The summary of the Lakers offseason is they improved...
Let's say LeBron is off the books next year. How much $ does that leave the Lakers to spend? It's not dollar-for-dollar. If it's $45 million, then...
Some people got money or spend money stupidly. Who are we to judge? The prices are what they are because an algorithm thinks they can get that much.
My guess is they are expecting the Lakers and Mavs stars to show up and support their players.
It's not that rare. They're just too expensive for the Lakers. Tough to find an athletic 3/D player because those go for $15-20 million starting.
Honestly, I'm not a fan of this move. Hayes outplayed his vet minimum contract and was shifted into a starter role when he's a 3rd stringer...
I don't buy that his confidence declined after the trade deal with Mark Williams. He played pretty good to close out the season. Summer League...
He could do both. That's what made him a beast. Idk if you watched LeBron in 2018 but he absolutely carried and took over games. The problem is...
Less to do with wanting to trade him and more to do with the realization that outside of him and Knecht, the Lakers don't have any tradeable...
I'd leave Knecht out but yeah, ideally, trading at least two of: Gabe, Maxi, or Vando for a competent player is ideal. I don't think you're going...
No reason for the Heat to do this. Gabe and Vando are net negative contracts. Knecht is the only asset in this trade and if the Heat are still...
He's been spoiled since he was 13. Pretty sure he was highly recruited even before then so he's been coddled for his entire adult life. Now Luka...
The hate against Rob is crazy. He's an above average GM who has had to balance LeBron and the Lakers individual aspirations. He's done fine. If...
We still need a DFS replacement. The issue with DFS wasn't his fit. He got a longer term deal from the Rockets that the Lakers wouldn't match...
I agree. Offense won't be the issue with the Lakers. They can find buckets. Ayton's defense will determine how this team plays going forward. If...
I'd pass on Wiggins if the offer is Rui+Knecht+1st. The only way it makes sense is if Gabe, Vando, and a 1st are included. Keep Rui+Knecht....
