Reaves, Vincent, D’lo, Hayes, JHS and all the picks they want for Caruso and Lavine

“I expect them to express interest”. Fucking masterful doublespeak by Shams, who really says nothing at all, and everyone just eats it up like a legit trade rumor. Sports journalism is a joke

Lakers should keep Reaves, leave Lavine alone and go after Caruso. Reaves and Caruso out on the wings…the arena would explode from Reaves-Caruso alley oops

Stop handing Leflop more all stars.

Lavine doesn't even make sense for the Lakers, they need Caruso.(like every other team in the NBA)

[–] Rare-Joke@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Which is exactly why they want Lavine 😂. Westbrook vibes all over again.

[–] Top-Consequence-911@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven't seen one reliable report that the Lakers want LaVine

The pistons should trade for Reaves. They need bench. Everytime the starting lineup gets subbed out they lose any less they had

r/nba told me Austin was overrated tho

[–] americanbeaver@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lmao they want Austin Reaves? Why? He's a 25 y/o 14 ppg scorer? What value does he have to a rebuilding team? If this is true it looks like the Bulls are going to fuck up another rebuild.

[–] Particular_Vast247@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If anything, he's a tradeable asset. My worry is that he loses some of his overly shiny value the second he is out of the LA lights and away from Bron. So, I think you'd have to either move him in a 3-team, or have another trade ready.

That said, he's got a bit of "the dawg", who knows how he could rise to the occasion. Contract is cheap enough to find out, either way still a trade asset if we are talking Bulls.

I don't think a trade is even possible without destroying the lakers depth

Do the Lakers have draft capital? It would work for both teams if the Lakers had good draft capital to send back as I'm assuming that's what Chicago would want

[–] junahn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

1on1 trade? If its not, pass.

[–] suhar97@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

On the lakers sub, we all do not want this

That said - the lakers FO is 10000% the type to do this lol

[–] lopea182@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Aw geez. Sorry, Bulls fans.

Bulls really trying to get the god pairing of Reaves and Caruso 😩😩

Weird they probably just wanted Lowry, Jovic and a first from the heat

They’re gonna want Rui DLo Reaves and multiples firsts and swaps. No thank you

[–] lolvalue@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If all the trade talks over the last few summers has taught me anything, all of these speculations on who is being asked for is extremely incorrect that it's not even worth putting any thought into. They're never right, in fact they have are even remotely close to fact.

[–] lilb1190@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Dicey12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (69 children)

Idk who watches the Lakers and thinks Zach Lavine fixes our issues. We need a big man and someone that can play perimeter defense

[–] photocist@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Who watching the bulls thinks reaves solves any problems either. Dumb both ways

[–] just-a-simple-song@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I think Reaves has to stay for the Lakers to win a title. He would be ideal as a facilitator in any Lebron-less lineup, and ideal as the glue in any Lebron-Lavine-Davis lineup.

I say that a a Reaves fantasy owner who would greatly benefit for him being a good stats bad team bulls guy.

[–] BrandinPodziemski@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lakers ruining their roster again for a inconsistent washed player yawn

[–] Jurm2k@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't believe a word this clown has to say since he gave me false hope about the severity of Jalen Johnson's injury. Fuck you Shams

[–] 693275001@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reaves would be the best SG in Bulls history

Cheap plug and play role player or overpriced one dimensional player

[–] HashhSlingingSlasher@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Lavine is barely putting up all star caliber stats while being the “star” of a bad team. He’s due $40M+ for the next few years, & has a trade kicker. He’s a subpar defender, isn’t a strong play maker, & is average at best from 3. Why exactly would we trade all our our depth, including a great young contract, for this dude? This reeks of either LAL desperation, or just CHI using us as leverage. I hope it’s the latter.

Can Vanderbilt even be traded this year since he signed an extension?

[–] Street-Common-4023@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Lord forbid that lakers make this trade or I’ll lose my sanity

[–] _Zap_Rowsdower_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Bullshit clicks. Lavine to the Lakers is not realistic simply due to his contract.

[–] TheBlackMan099@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This whole thing the bullshit. Lakers do NOT want lavine

It’s like when announcers say “such and such player was ubiquitous tonight”. Clearly they heard the word once, didn’t quite get its meaning correct, and now use it incorrectly because they think it makes them sound smart

[Me] The Chicago Bulls can fuck right off

[–] PrimaryFrog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sounds like Leflop. aka the queen. is trying to build a “super team” again. Lebron James is overrated.

[–] jumboponcho@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yall gonna blame Lebron for this one too? Just accept that Pelinka has bad taste in guards
