Feel free to make offers from your current team if need, what I'd be keen on, which everyone should know by now
Reaves for Kessler in some sort of package deal, straight up doesn't work I don't think?
Kessler makes $5mil ish, Reaves around $12mil ish
Reaves for WCJ from Magic? Lakers then sign Day'Ron Sharpe in FA
Utah, doesn't seem to want to pay Kessler's next contract.
Magic, some Magic fans have said they'de like Reaves.
What are your current teams offers for Reaves, if your team is interested?
With Reaves declining his extention, I don't beleive Lakers will offer him the $$$, but who knows. I'm thinking they should trade him IMO, I love Reaves but it's all about Luka.

Where exactly is this coming from?

Reaves fits into any teams MLE right?
So any non tax team can trade for him with no salary going out if they wanted to (or with less salary like Kessler)
I would not want to pay Lively for Reaves, but would guess that’s what LA wants. And Nico/LA shouldn’t really work together on a major trade for a long while.

All from youtube for me, that's where, take that as you will.
Also they saying Ainge has shown interest in both Reaves, Knecht, but as of now who know.

As a Celtics fan, if ownership is ok not resetting repeater rate tax I would offer Pritchard/Hauser/2026 1st for him. Then they flip Simon’s’ expiring deal for a big (still staying under 2nd apron).
White / Reaves / Brown / Tatum / big would be their long term core

Wow really?
I like Pritchard alone much more than Reeves.

Who's going to want Austin Reaves, knowing that they will ether lose him for nothing next off season or will have to attach assets to his contract just to get him off of the team within a year after the next contract kicks in? The new CBA tends to frown upon players who are one way players that's playing below a all star level. We have seen this with Gary Trent Jr. We have seen this with Anfernee Simons. We are seeing this with D'Angelo Russell and likely with Collin Sexton.I think Austin Reaves is making a mistake by not just accepting 4/89 contract from the Lakers.

Pelinka should be fired on the spot if he makes either of these trades. Trading Reaves for WCJ is laughable.

So you think they'll pay him the 5 years? what offers will they offer him? I think they'll trade him if the right offer comes.

Yep 5/150 with PO is the dream scenario.
So about 15% of cap.
But anywhere in the 15-20% would be fine for 2nd/3rd option

It is very optimistic.
5/200 is 20% of cap. That should be enough for Lakers to keep him.
Max outside offer is probably 180/4 right?

5-year $247m, if not other teams can offer 4 year $183m. Danny Darko posted on Laker forum:)

Yeah that's the absolute max but I don't believe Lakers will need to offer that. $200m for 5 is most Lakers should need to offer.

That may be true, otherwise, I really cant understand why there is constant rumor on Kessler, which IMO, is good enough to be kept as part of the future in UTAH, and should NEVER be traded away unless some crazy offers come out (not couple late first)

Magic could use Reaves off the bench. However we cant afford his next contract and I'm sure he will want a starter role.
