  1. And yet r/nba thinks Reaves is a total bum that no one wants

  2. lets_talk_basketball

    Only way this make sense is if they give la Murray and bog

  3. outsidehere

    They’ll take Dlo, Hayes and JHS and they’ll like it

  4. kasaan110

    Keep repeating the same shit deal is dead at this point

  5. Theingloriousak2

    Why the fuck wouldn’t we trade reaves for Murray the upgrade is huge

    dlo and Murray back court is much better than dlo/reaves 

    At least one guy can defend and attack the paint, the other can shoot 3

  6. Uberballer

    I mean if they get back Reaves then the Lakers shouldn’t be giving up the 29 pick in that case, as that’s the whole point of D’lo being what’s up on offer. Maybe a swap and some seconds. If there really is no market for Murray and Atlanta really want to get rid of him then Rob shouldn’t let himself get fleeced like he did with the Brick (imagine getting Brickula and being the team that gave up the FRP in the deal, oh wait that’s exactly what happened…)

    If the Hawks would take that maybe, they could still then have D’lo, Rui, Gabe (in theory) along with JHS, Christie and the pick as sweeteners to make another move to truly restructure the team.

    Granted that’s all pie in the sky and probably won’t happen. I’m already just bracing myself to give up on the team accomplishing anything whatsoever this season. Yet another LeBron + AD year wasted by this incompetent front office.

    Lakers tax in trades is brutal, we can’t get anyone decent without giving up way too much

  8. bruh its been 2 weeks we see the same shit . arent u tired ? and they re being paid for that

  9. SnooHedgehogs2050

    Meh ship him and see if they can get another piece then. But I didn’t watch much this year, he’s defence was actually a positive last season and that changes his value quite a bit even if his shooting goes up again.

  10. ValuableAssociate8

    The more they talk about it the less chance it will happen

  11. hungrywantmooshoo

    Hot take, but a Murray/DLo backcourt is better than a Murray/AR backcourt from a basketball perspective.

  12. runninthruthe818

    Some of ya’ll saying ship out Reaves have forgotten that he’s cold blooded as hell in the playoffs when the game slows down and you need buckets. Meanwhile D-lo was sitting glued to the bench.

    Theres a reason they’re ‘insisting’. Nobody is giving them Reaves they can blow Pelinka.

  13. CultExterminator

    Murray has 1 all star appearance in 8 seasons and some of you are idealizing him as this perennial star. He’s not better than any PG we’d play against in the West playoffs. Ya’ll are prisoners of the grass always being greener on the other side.

  14. How hard is it to realize that Ham is the source of all our problems that no deal would fix. Is the FO really that dumb?!!!

  15. ktran2804

    Dlo and Reaves would be too much to give up unless we got Murray Bogi and a Center back

  16. Onlyplay2k

    Just trade lemon daddy. He’s not gonna do well in Atlanta. They’ll waive him and Lakers can get him on discount. Boom

  17. Lakers need to make the trade.. Get Murray plus either capela or Hunter.  Just give ant the playerd they want. 

  18. TorontoRaptors34

    Clippers were able to keep Mann while getting Harden. Suns got KD while keeping there assst Ayton.

  19. TorontoRaptors34

    Reaves and Murray r a way better backcourt. Reaves u can trust more than DLO. 
    Murray can be a real pg next to Reaves. DLO is jus a poor mans trae who can’t slash.

  20. Infinite_Cap_853

    And Sham said like a week ago that what was blocking the deal was the fact that they needed to find a third team to take on DLo’s contract.

    We hear everything and it’s contrary. All we can do is wait and see

  21. Score-Mobile

    lol Bogi is not better than Reaves. Reaves is a way better playmaker who is just having a slump from the 3pt line.

    Austin – 15.2 pts 4 rb 5.2 ast

    Bogdan 17.1 pts 3.1 2.6 ast

    Bogi attempts 3 more shots than AR

    Yall talking about Bogi like he’s two levels above AR is crazy.

    If AR was coached well his defensive mishaps wouldn’t look so bad and he just needs to build his frame a bit more. Stop overreacting

  22. hottakehotcakes

    Why would the hawks want Reaves? I can’t think of a worse backcourt fit for Trae

  23. Kobe6Rings

    WoJ knows absolutely nothing. Hes such a water carrying scumbag.

  24. Na. If Lakers trade both D Lo and Reaves for him I think I’m done with this season. That trade would be a big L for us.

  25. Wise_Ad_112

    Mofos starting act like Murray’s prime Kobe or smtn. The problem is ham not the talent

  26. Temporary-Outside-13

    You can improve this team with one move. I don’t mean no disrespect.

    Let Ham go…

  27. The_King_In_The_Bay

    It’s just about the urgency. The Lakers can get Murray this summer and keep reaves, they will have more picks fo trade at that point. Murray/ Reaves would be a quality, and cost effective backcourt, which is what I see rob angling for. If we trade reaves, that solves this year–maybe? But next year?
    Dlo is gonna opt out if it works well and the Lakers make a playoff run he has any part it in, then its pay him way more than reaves contract, or let him walk. Now we need a guard again, minus whatever assets it took to get Murray. Is it worth it for a a playin exit? We are one injury to bron, ad or even reaves/dlo away from just that. Maybe go for it, I’m just saying I see the hesitation to trade anyone but dlo.

  28. KnickedUp

    The Lakers know we cannot go to the playoffs with DLo and Reaves as our backcourt. It puts too much pressure on our backline

  29. I don’t understand why the hawks want reaves, wouldn’t he be a bad fit next to Trae for the same reasons Dlo would?
