Lets make something clear guys, no way in hell Lakers are trading Austin Reaves and Rui



Nets wanted Austin Reaves and Rui for Kyrie and Lakers didn’t do it, so what makes you guys think they’ll do it for Zach Lavine/Pascal Siakam/Dejounte Murray??

    For once, my people will save the white boy instead.

    Rui going if it makes sense.

    Seemed more like Nets were asking for everything, knowing they weren’t going to send Kyrie to the Lakers in any case. I can’t see Lakers trading Austin unless that return is just that good but D’Lo/Gabe/Rui are our main trade pieces from a salary-perspective.

    People also said no way the Lakers wouldn’t resign Alex Caruso.

    You can’t rely on Rob pelinka to make the smart move

    The only argument for Rui is that there is an absolute logjam at the big wing position, and trading him for a piece/pieces that round out our roster could definitely be justified.

    No Reaves in any trade that isn’t for a young star tbh

    Rui without a question

    AR probably not likely. We could’ve been starting him to have his trade value even higher. I’d trade him for someone on Kyrie level. Guys like Trae/Lauri are out of our price range no matter what. So there’s very few trades where losing AR makes sense

    lol

    Bold statement for role players of a team that didn’t win the last NBA championship.

    Yes way buddy lol rui is one of our main trade pieces

    Let’s make something clear

    None of us are on staff. It doesn’t matter what we say.

    If Trae young or Mitchell become available or anybody on their level. My friend lakers are trading everybody outside of ad and bron.

    Reaves stays regardless cuz he is the longest tenure Laker outside Bron and AD. U cant gain chemistry by flipping guys every season.

    Heard Rob was going to trade them until he saw this post.

  12. _AgainstTheGrain_

    Rui contract alone makes him the most likely to be traded out of all the PFs.

    I’d imagine AR is off the table unless an All Star caliber PG or C become available that fits perfectly alongside AD and Bron.

    I don’t see a PG of that magnitude being available but I wonder if the Cavs would be interested in AR plus either DLO or RUI, FRP for Allen and Rubio (filler).

    It’s a win now move for the Lakers but we would have the best defensive in the league and would match up very well against the Nuggets.

  13. touchetoupee

    I love our team, but never say never in this league.

  14. Everybody can be had except Lebron and AD. Let’s say KD was available, you wouldn’t trade them? Purely hypothetical…

    Nets werent trading in good faith. They werent gonna send him to LA.
