Random Trade Thread 2025-26

What do you think the odds are that he actually hits the trade market? He would address a lot of our problems.

One problem I foresee would be LA wanting Amen from us in return. Our defense would take a massive hit starting Reaves, Durant, and Sengun.

Maybe a three team deal to get LA a different player?

 

I don't think he would "hit the trade market" so to speak. It would have to be a S&T.

Luka and Reaves are both incredible but are an untenable combination together. Totally duplicative and marginal defensively, when the Lakers have limited resources and zero other long term starters/high rotation players in place. S&T'ing Reaves seems like their only path to actual contention IMO.

I'd imagine some kind of three-way S&T. Reaves to HOU, Sengun and/or other assets elsewhere to get whoever the Lakers want (maybe Giannis). HOU has the young assets + high value picks and are a destination where Reaves would want to sign.

Amen isn't going anywhere under this FO and coach. Sengun is the obvious outgoing this summer.

 

He's good cuz of the whistle. Dude gets 22 free throws in a game. If Jalen got those calls he'd be good too.
