Vando contract is negative value going 3 years. I'd need at least a swap or something for taking that on. Otherwise just get a buyout from Ayton or even consider cutting him.
Explain why? Again, all i hear is Reaves is LA’s best young talent, potential future all star. Arent you on the get rid of Ayton train? RW3 has no value and a future first, we can afford one for a potential future all star? Or am what I'm hearing is overblown and he isn't all that?
For the very reason you said it. If ayton isnt gonna work, then why would a no value player like timelord and a pick make it better? You literally said it. I am on the get rid of ayton train, we all should be. But Reaves value is god tier higher.
If Reeves was in Charlotte you never would have heard his name. He's solid scoring player but more similar to Simons than a future star we should be aiming for. He's certainly worth more than Ayton/Grant etc. Probably the 3rd most valuable Laker. Just doesn't make sense for the Blazers to target him. I'd expect he stays in LA unless they can package him and their pick and Knecht or such for an all-star level player.
I mean if the Lakers want to include Reaves in a package we just have to find out what his value is around the league, if he's flippable then you take the deal and flip him or get a third team involved in the initial trade.
If you need to ask why a first round pick attached would enhance a trade, you need to go back to baseball…..
