They’re not going to have much choice on Reaves. Either they want a star or they don’t. And if they do, Reaves is in every trade.
Obviously Laker future draft picks are the most desirable assets, but a solid young role player on a very team friendly contract is up there as well.

No one really wants DLo, Rui, Vando, Gabe or whoever else you want to add to the list. They’re just throw-ins to make the money work.

still a worrying aspect of the aprons on trades. Go over tier 1 can’t take back more money in any trade (if Mitchell puts them over tier 1, Rui/AR/JHS need another salary). And hard capped under tier 2 because you are not allowed to stack salaries in a trade, which from how it was explained in Laker Nation would create an issue with a Mitchell trade or they have to unload salaries for free or let Max walk as well.
The CBA is basically forcing teams to avoid 3 stars because they are trying to make teams incapable of fielding full rotations.

Nobody likes DLo fine. DLo/AR isn’t the optimal pair, fine. If Bron was younger, three star approach makes sense because you can then pivot out quick if it doesn’t work. In my opinion, they need to throw as many darts at the dart board as possible in the next year/2 because of what Bron / AD are.
 


Orlando could create a lot of cap space this summer…

Need shooting? Why not get crazy and go after KCP & Klay… DLo wouldn’t even be on my radar if I were them
