    If the framework is something like D-Lo (contract), Reaves, Vincent (contract) and draft compensation for Murray and Bogi, I think I’m in.

    “Stop calling me unless your offer includes Reaves.” -Landry Fields

  3. Illustrious-Hand-525

    If we get capela as well this is the best trade we can make

  4. Bahamut727

    Reaves or Dlo for Murray. Rui and whatever for DFS

  5. Potential-Host-6281

    DLo, Reaves, and Ham for Murray and Quin Snyder.

  6. Meaning it won’t happen. Trades that actually happen always come out of the blue.

    Hope Rob will surprise us with a trade along the line of “The Lakers are close to a deal to acquire Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen”. lol

  7. AR is off limits. Trading him is another KCP/Caruso situation. He’s an excellent role player.

    They need to target a legit center and tell Lebron to play the three.

  8. PairedFoot08

    All the reports about Murray make me feel its more likely LaVine or someone we didn’t expect ends up being the move

    Feel like normally these leaks often occur when teams have more or less given up on talks

  9. Not sure how to feel – this is way too loud at this point w/ all this smoke. I’m still not sold on DJM being the fix, unless this gets expanded

  10. If we’re trading Reaves surely we can get someone better in then Murray?

  11. Gristle__McThornbody

    Not a fan. But he’ll definitely be an upgrade over Reaves.

  12. Sure_Skill_1991

    I swear to god as soon as we trade Austin he gon be a legit allstar….. like any mid players that the lakers trade or get rid of they somehow get 2x better

  13. claydavisismyhero

    Wayyyy too many leaks. This is klutch applying pressure

  14. incredibleamadeuscho

    I am in favor internal development over trading away the team. So I’m against I’m trading Austin Reaves. But I’m willing to accept their mistakes and not be in a position to fully win now. If you are in a win now position, getting a guard like Murray who can defend for a guard who sucks at it (Austin Reaves) makes sense to me.

  15. kronos9797

    Why would we trade Reaves, he’s literally got one of the best contracts and his value against is insane. Name one other player making 12 mil per year who’s shouldering as much burden as Reaves right now, there is no way we should be trading him. Exactly the same way we should not have left Caruso walk, these are guys who play well with LeBron and have valuable playoff experience. These are the guys who’d be on the floor in the final minutes of a playoff game!

  16. syretheboss

    How the fuck are all of you people already giving up on AR? All that hype and all that talk in the playoffs up to the WCF and you want him gone halfway through the season. Wtf

  17. Beautiful_Mammoth_19

    How about the lakers speak to darvin ham about a firing

  18. WayneOnABeat

    I think it’s a bluff to Chicago for not moving the wheel on Lavine

  19. JayRod24_

    As long as Reaves isn’t in the deal I’m fine with it. Also if I’m being honest I really don’t care to have Murray on this team. To me he doesn’t move the needle that much, I would much rather have Lavine.

  20. Zeetheking1

    This means the hawks are telling people we want Murray to try and get pressure in the FO to give up reaves and our first.

  21. Expensive_Mess3501

    Man everyone saying reaves + dlo for murray is an idiot. This guy has been shit defensively recently. He aint gonna fix our problems. If this happens we’re a terrible org. the main problem is hams defensive scheme. We have to STOP letting the lowest 3pt percentage shooter open

  22. CultExterminator

    1. Trade all your assets for player that doesn’t fit.
    2. Say you’re committed to him for the indefinite future.
    3. Team fails to integrate player. Team underperforms to expectations.
    4. Fans blame player instead of team leaders.
    5. Outgoing players perform better than they did on the Lakers.
    6. Trade him for less than what you paid for.
    7. Rinse and repeat.

  23. pinktwhite

    I pray Rob is working a three-team trade to keep AR

  24. BusiestWolf

    If they lose Reaves they should try to get Lonnie back in a separate trade

  25. Ranjith_Unchained

    Very lateral move, he’s not a good shooter and his defense has fallen off

  26. This is posturing for the Lakers to get a better deal on Lavine. Murray’s fit would be horrendous, Russ 2.0

  27. I don’t want Murray. He’s not the pure scorer we need. I understand POA guard is a nice to have but we are dying for offense right now! We need Lavine.

  28. isit65outsideor

    Klutch creating a market for a player that doesn’t move the needle for contenders. Classic.

  29. Dejounte can help solve one of our biggest problems which is the physical limitations of D’Lo and Reaves. Neither of them are quick enough to stay with fast guards or strong enough to stay with physical wings. Our defense doesn’t produce on-ball pressure unless we put in Vando which comes at a huge offensive cost. It’s really not an effort of scheme thing. Having both DLo and Reaves in the game at the same time makes our defense way too porous.

    Even though Dejounte’s effort on defense has been dwindling he has more physical skills to play defense than our current crop of guards. This really leads to players not going full steam into AD and hopefully makes him an even more impactful defensive player.

    Also, Reaves and DLo’s skills on offense are a bit duplicative as they are both shooters who like to operate in the PNR so hopefully Dejounte adds a different element to the offense with slashing and fast break capabilities.

  30. ToneDowneyAve

    What if randomly pulled off Siakem? Lmfao super stretch im sure but does he move you guys.

  31. lol can’t believe we actually trying to trade for another big name player. We ain’t gonna have any 1st round draft picks till 2050 at this point

  32. KittleDTM

    If we trade reaves rui and dlo for some mid ‘star’ like Dejounte, just pack it up.

    Especially if we trade reaves, it will be like selling our soul and making the same mistake we made with KCP/Caruso/Danny green

  33. Murray isn’t the answer at all. Coach is..Lakers are screwed
