And the organization replied “What packages?”

I tried to make it clear yesterday that I didn’t want $5 per gallon to be included in my transaction at the gas pump. Talks did not progress very far. 

It’s gonna be disgusting when the lakers get giannis for a 2035 1st rounder/LaRavia and austin butler

lakers really love star hunting instead of depth lmao

They’re either signing Reaves or he’s walking. Ain’t no way he’s fine with a S&T when he can just sign with another team on a higher price

Bronny for Giannis. Lebron for Thanasis

I’m sure he totally said this. The media would never make up stuff for clicks

Get giannis

No depth

No center

Profit

Who else do the lakers even got to trade?

Luka sounds like the Laker fans on this sub

The Bucks responded with, “we also don’t want Reaves included in any potential trade packages”

Good thing he’s not the gm then

If ayton doesn’t come back, going to need to make sure there is still a “lack of defensive effort” scapegoat getting big minutes.

(I do really like Luka lol) 

Lakers dont have nearly enough to even make a competitive offer with reaves

Work buddies man

I want to see Luka and AR surrounded with a bunch of athletes who defend.

So that means Pelinka is running it back with the same roster

Lunch pail to work kinda pals

LuGM is now on the job.

It’s 2026 just filling your team with a bunch of big name stars and zero depth doesn’t win anymore

I feel like this is a prime take for me to get down voted by fellow lakers.

But the lakers are fucking stupid if they don’t lock AR in.

Lakers need to find a lob threat center with good passing/rebounding skills and a DFS kind of like or better wing player and another guard that can defend well and shoot 3s.

Traffic cone defending a traffic cone. Birds of a feather and all that

I mean I don’t necessarily think that would’ve been up to LA anyways

Reaves is a free agent and wants to be in LA, why is he signing a long term contract just to help them get giannis and go play in Milwaukee?

He doesn’t wanna be the only swiss cheese defender on the team

Yeah I mean this is not a team that needs Giannis.

To get him they’d have to sell every asset they’d have and then it’d just be Giannis/Luka and a bunch of G League guys. They already have no depth, they need to focus on building a legit core of guys around Luka, they don’t need a 2nd superstar.

1. It would take more than AR to get Giannis. And we already have a limited amount of picks.

2. Giannis would be a terrible fit. He needs the ball in his hands to be effective and impactful on offense. He doesn’t set good screens and he rarely makes cuts off the ball. His positive defensive impact would not be worth it without a solid big, anyway. He is a much better help defender than anything else.

3. The league is all about a few star players with depth through good drafting and trades. We would have Luka and Giannis with no depth, and won’t be able to add much without picks after that….

Luka knows they don’t actually need Giannis if it means playing with 0 depth.

So you dont want Giannis, got it.

Teams and star players need to stop focusing on acquiring additional star players and focus on improving the overall depth of the team instead.

Lmao

Plot twist they include luka now instead

Paying Reaves more than LeBron next season is insane 😂

He doesn’t want to be the only traffic cone defender on the fLakers

I forgot how quick the media/Lakers be spewing news stories after a playoff exit lol I legitimately don’t want to see none of this shit until these crazy ass playoffs are over. Organization be attention whores sometimes lol

Giannis specifically said he doesn’t want to be in the west…

AR has less depth than a traffic cone

They aren’t making it out of the 2nd round with Reeves so this next season should be funny for anyone who hates the Lakers.

So many Lakers fans want Reaves traded (for good reason, a back court with him and Luka is leaking more than a burst pipe). But think of the fact that the Mavs totally screwed Luka by getting rid of everyone he likes before unceremoniously trading him, and the fact that he clearly likes Reaves.

The Lakers have to suck it up and fill out the rest of the roster with defensive minded guys and shooters to offset their leaky backcourt, if you want Luka to be loyal, Reaves stays

I mean, Austin Reaves is a very good player. He just isn’t good enough to be the 2nd option on a title contender. There are teams willing to overpay for him, but if the Lakers do it, then Luka’s prime years will be wasted.

am i crazy in thinking that reeves and luka aren’t a good duo? they’re good scorers who both want the ball in their hands, which you can make work, but at least one of them is going to have to decide to start playing defense
