Jazz asked for Austin Reaves and two 1st round picks for Walker Kessler

Hopefully if we do trade Walker, it’s because the LeBron forced the Lakers to cave in to Ainges demands
I mean, better than fucking Knecht.
Ah yes, known reporter LakersDailyCom. The Lakers are one of the most strict organization in the NBA, as they never leak any plans to the media ever. If they would, why wouldn’t they give that information to Chris Haynes, or Shams, instead of LakersDailyCom. Like when was the last time Lakers leaks went to the reporters from the Lakers. Most of the time, if leaks about future trades make it to the reporters involving the Lakers, it’s from the other team
I don’t believe it. We got off Sexton because we don’t need guards. We already have Key, Brice, Walt, Zay, and Ace at guards. If we got rid of Sexton, because we have too many guards, why would we want Reaves when he’s an expiring contract about to hit unrestricted free agency, while Kessler is on an expiring contract about to hit restricted free agency. Kessler is also our only promising center on the team. Reaves is 27 years old, and he doesn’t fit our timeline, so we don’t need him, as we already have a ton of guards on the team that fit our timeline
We aren’t swapping Kessler for Reaves unless a third team really wants Reaves (even though he’ll be a free agent after this season) and offers a huge return like a promising young player, and 2 firsts minimum, so we’d be walking away with the 2 Lakers firsts, and 2 firsts from the other team, so 4 firsts in total, and a promising young player
Also, Reaves and 2 firsts is impossible to happen, as Stepien Rule says the Lakers can only trade their 2031 pick, due to us owning their 2027 pick, and the Mavs owning their 2029 pick
I’d have been happy with that trade. Glad the bar is high, Kessler is a dawg
Ainge is doing great harm to the team by trying to fleece on every trade. He ends up with expiring contracts and players on deals that make no sense for the team’s timeline like Markkanen.
Ainge is flailing in perpetual implosion mode. There is no plan, no vision. I remember in the 90’s looking down on franchises like Dallas and Minnesota that couldn’t seem to get their crap together. Now we are that franchise.
Ainge is more interested in “winning” trades and stockpiling non-human assets (draft picks) than in actually building a team. I guess we’re the trade champs again. Yeah!
Pelinka Ainge’d him in that Luka deal. He wants get back.
Seeing as how those picks would be late first rounders after acquiring Kessler i dont think its asking too much. The lakers are used to getting great players for peanuts so I dont blame them.
