The Lakers All-In Offer = ?? Austin Reaves, Dalton Knecht, 2031 Unprotected 1st and Expiring Contracts

[SkyHook]

Spoiler:

If the Lakers offered:

Austin Reaves
Dalton Knecht
2031 Unprotected Lakers First Round Draft Pick

+ Any/All of the following:

Rui Hachimura
Dorian Finney-Smith
Gabe Vincent
Maxi Kleber

Who is the best player they would get in return?

Kessler/Collins Is the hot topic, both on realgm/youtube etc.

Will probably have to be; Rui/Reaves/Knecht/FRP/pick swap ... Just a Laker fan keeping things real as real as things can be.

It's over pay, but some times you have to over pay.

And b4 anyone says, Luka just last year took old man Kyrie along with PJ/Gafford/Lively to the finals.... Just imagin what he could do with Kessler/Collins OMG

Edit: some people say Kessler not a lob threat etc, but there's no proof of this you can't tell me that JC/Sexton and other Utah guards are good at lob passes compared to Luka, LOL. Luka will make Kessler/Collins look like allstars.

PJ/Lively>>Collins/Kessler

I am 100% in favor of daily posts from Slim targeting PJ+Lively rather than Collins+Kessler.

Rockets get Reaves

Lakers get Allen, Jabari

Cavs get Rui, #10, LAL31FRP

Way too good for LA. The Cavs aren’t downgrading from Allen to Rui for the 10th pick. Rui also only has one year left on his deal. Rui+10+Jabari for Allen is something I would consider as a Cavs fan, assuming Houston wants to trade that package for Reaves.

The Lakers shouldn't trade Reaves unless they get back multiple high end rotation players or a star/budding star.

I'm not trading Reaves for Allen when you can get a starting caliber center at a fraction of the price.

I won't trade Lively for Reaves . Look at the playoff series, everyone know how negative Reaves is going to be. Not to mention the 30M per contract Reaves is asking for.

Reaves loves LAL, his in the media saying positive things and wants to be a Laker for life. Would'nt surprise me if this happens especially under new management anything though is possible and me saying this and what i've written above haha. He might even pull a Caruso and say "I want to play for less" and Lakers under new management might accept.

How often do players out right say they do not want to be on their current team in the media? Players will say the right thing but when contract desires are put out there that speaks to their true priorities. If the Lakers aren't willing to meet AR's demands but another team is he will be on the move.

I hear you, but it's AR, he went undrafted to play for/with the Lakers and as I said he could pull a Caruso and say I will play for less, just wait and see.

What? I had a few too many last night haha, but I surivived and going strong, time for some eggs/bacon and plenty of water, only drink once a month now and being the finals was a good day to drink yesterday, I really hope for a Kessler/Collins trade soon haha.

He went undrafted and happen to get shot with the Lakers. For a dude like AR you go where the money is. If there was more money on the table from another team I would be surprised if he took less to stay in LA

[Case2012]

The lakers will take Jeremy Grant/Ayton and be happy.

All kidding aside, that would be an actually pretty good fit if not for the horrible contracts.

I really want to add Knecht and that first but i dont see a route for it.

Halfway there.

[Airgordon00]

Lakers get Jalen Suggs, Anthony Black, Goga Bitadze, Jonathan Isaac.

Magic get LeBron James and Austin Reaves.
