I'm conflicted on that but I will say gun to my head-
I know Reaves is going to put the work and development in, he's already a better player for now, and his heart is needed on the team.

Schoked Lakers didnt want him
... Lakers need defense blks and reb. Jonas performed bad twice against Us and I think Hayes out played him and Jonas on the wrong side of 30, need to get youngerdAdo dA dEvil wrote:If we can't get any big until the trade deadline then I think I'll have to live with Hayes and Maxi and see if somehow Luka can make Jax look better. I will let it play out a bit then if it doesn't work well then see who will be in the buy out market or gamble on vet bigs (Howard?).

I think that Knecht will be a great player, and I just don't feel giving him up for Kessler will turn to be a good deal. And also I think losing that one remaining FRP will come back to bite Lakers in the offseason.
That '27s protection is void anyway and everybody understands that, now that we got Luka.
Besides Chicago will demand an FRP for Lonzo, and I'm not sure if he's a good fit in a Luka&Lebron team that will require more outside shooting.
Bulls might demand a frp for Lonzo, but they def not getting that, at least straight up.
I'd trade Knecht and pics for Kessler in a heartbeat, even buy Utah free taco's for life
It's more likely he's cut... I love Lonzo but a FRP is not worth his health gamble anymore

Good to see we finally on the same page, but like I said will cost a lot.
All In baby; Rui, Reaves, Knecht, FRP ... Kessler, Collins, SVI ... Lots of teams going BIG and this gives us a solid big line up. Svi replaces Knecht well sort of, but you know what I mean I think. Collins Is upgrade over Rui, solid bench player (6thman) for now and well we all know Kessler baby... I wanted Sexton b4 but don't think his really that needed now IMO.
Lakers will be fine.
Edit: If you're still worried about the FRP, keep In mind after I think 2031 Lakers own all there pics, If I'm not mistaken
I think everyone really likes Kessler but I imagine ex Celtics greats Bird, McHale etc warning Ainge not to help the Lakers anymore or else he would be blacklisted in Boston.
So what do you guys think about the 23 year old Mark Williams? He actually has a higher PER, DRTG, ORTG, PTS than Walker.

Actually averaging 21pts last 5 games.

What kind of assets would be realistic to offer Charlotte?
Other alternatives? Capela? Can Nico still trade Gafford before he get's lynched there?
While my Allround knowledge isn't the best it's getting better, not sure who M Williams is, I'll take a look when home, just starting boring work in carpark lol
