While Lavine is a better individual player than Reaves, the Lakers would be so stupid to make this trade. Reaves makes cuts. Reaves moves without the ball. Reaves does dirty work.

Maybe Lavine helps when Lebron isnt on the floor, but with Lebron on the floor they would basically be playing "your-turn-my-turn" with AD also added to that mix. What is the point of having a great passer if there is nobody cutting? Lavine will stand in the corner until he has the ball in his hands.

That isnt to say it cant work. Lavine is a freak athlete and has games where he looks like an All-NBA player. But is he a fit for the Lakers. No.
