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 price will be an incredible asset for us or someone else in the future.

2) Given that AR was coming off an injury, I think he did great against the best defense in modern history. Go look at Jamal Murray's stats in the 1st round. He's considered the holy grail of 2nd options and he threw up a stinker. Or how Booker fared against OKC. He struggled as well, shooting poorly and turning the ball over. AR is basically at the same level as Booker, imo.

3) People can believe what they want, but the reason we lost isn't because of defense. It's because Luka didn't play and we couldn't score. Our offensive rating was 103 for the series. Yikes.

4) Where's the chatter of AR not being able to score against athletic wings?

Some of you guys need to put down the crack pipe. In the real world, we aren't getting a better 2nd option than AR via a trade. Luka doesn't want AR traded because they play great together and he knows how talented AR is, and our FO knows this too. AR will improve again next year and he'll be selected to the all star team. Book it.

How about not worrying if they get a better second option by trading him and concentrate on getting a better team by trading him.If you trade for someone who is slightly below him offensively but much better defensively than that’s a wash.Then in the same trade add someone who is a much better 5/6 option than they have now that makes you a better TEAM

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.
