@APEX_Hoops @NBATRADERUMORS8 I see your notables on what's being looked at now...just curious on the measurable of impact on this type of player...he's asked to catch lobs and rebound on a team where he's not a focal point...he's mid much like any other player that plays similar roles. Overpaid, yes.

@realtalkwithdb here’s my idea, you keep the big 3 together, get 2 rotational center (rw3, day’ron shape) for example, saddiq bey as a backup 4, help denver w pwat retention by absorbing cam johnson and slot him as starting or backup 3 and resign kennard/qg whoever’s cheaper

my lakers offseason predictions ⬇️ 1. ayton opts out 2. re-sign bron (pay cut), smart, and rui 3. sign and trade austin reaves to the nets for nic claxton and terrence mann 4. sign tari eason or peyton watson 5. sign quentin grimes or keon ellis 6. sign robert williams

@APEX_Hoops @NBATRADERUMORS8 Gotta use something more viable than +/- that stat tells you absolutely nothing about the player themselves outside of the team was losing at the time they were on the floor...something we all know (Brooklyn Sucks) every player on the team is a negative by that metric

@mythicalV3 We have to keep it real - there is no perfect fix...hence why I said depth. Any player that's great is solidified with their team.

@realtalkwithdb okay so having seen djj play w luka, he’s a great defender but was pretty mid on offense in the finals run, cam johnson i agree but with denver being desperate to retain pwat, we can get cam for much cheaper than reaves being the price, wiggins sure, powell not so much

@mythicalV3 You need a desmond bane or Bridges type of player...that's likely a DJJ or Cam Johnson type someone that's not expensive plug and play if it's a SG most likely a Powell or Wiggins.

@realtalkwithdb i just wanna get an idea of what you’re thinking, maybe my thinking that we need to keep reaves could be wrong which is why i’m asking

@mythicalV3 So, here's the thing reaves isn't a great shooter and horrible at defense; He has to be replaced with someone that's at least mid in both areas because of Luka's shortcomings. Reaves being kept because of likability or ability to pass isn't winning ball. Who? will involve a S/T

@mythicalV3 no emotions vested here...just see where the convo is going...no matter the proposal you've already stated that reaves is the most viable option earlier...so, there's no point in proposing alternates 🤷🏽‍♂️

@realtalkwithdb idk why you’re getting so defensive when i didn’t criticize lebron once, all i said was he shouldn’t have to have lead playmaker responsibilities at 42, it’s a lot to ask and frankly unfair to him, even though he CAN be that guy

@mythicalV3 Serious question - u genuinely believe that all of a sudden lebron traded a championship roster then replaced it with RW?!?! Why would he breakup a roster right after winning? - that's not what he "did" with any other team...

@realtalkwithdb no one’s blaming lebron for how disastrous of a job pelinka has done. sure for the westbrook trade yeah but other than that he’s been as accommodating of the shit rosters as anyone will ever be

@mythicalV3 seeing as how everyone is a FA you're starting from scratch so...now we get to see what the illustrious GM will do. Because lebron has been the "reason" for shortcomings YoY, right? now since he has no power we all get to see real-time what pelinka will do with the "power" 😆

@realtalkwithdb ok so in your scenario let’s say reaves gets reaves gets traded, whose the starting 2? are they a better player than or the same level of player as reaves? the FA class has enough rotational pieces that we can get which will make our team that much better already, esp rw3

@mythicalV3 first of all - no one said build around lebron...i said get rid of the duplicated play and get depth...there's absolutely nothing that you can say reaves does superb aside from playmake and that's arguable.

@realtalkwithdb luka has shown across multiple teams that another guard helps maximize his abilities, JB, kyrie, reaves, it’s really not worth esp considering the other guards who could be in that starting 2 spot

@mythicalV3 Solid backcourt?!?! What's the benchmark??? If we put that back court against each team are they winning the matchup??? Are they leading the team to a chip?!?! We have results already against teams above .600...the answer is no reaves stats from Dec, through Apr, aren't all that

@realtalkwithdb just cause lebron CAN do it doesn’t mean he HAS to. keeping reaves ensures we have a solid backcourt for the foreseeable future. i agree we should maximize depth this offseason but that shouldn’t come at the cost of trading reaves

@mythicalV3 @Step4Bron @Laurentdalmeida @snatchseason Why are you comparing an offensive wizard in kyrie to reaves?!?! Not even close - and lebron already showed he can still do it...it's the depth that's the issue...get off whatever talent y'all claim reaves has and get depth, simple 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Step4Bron @Laurentdalmeida @snatchseason luka and kyrie were able to make it work, not saying austin’s kyrie but having a second guard to play make is better than asking 42 year old bron to do that for long stretches

@10f0ne @BadmanMo1 @Fullcourtpass @WindhorstESPN @ESPNCleveland 🧐 Shannon is a fan possibly even a fanboy but he's not talking lebron everyday like those other three...money is on Skip; a hard second is SAS...they've literally made their career off the back of dude - holy 💩🤔 all 3 have 😆🤣

LeBron’s camp would reportedly want an explanation from the Lakers if they offer him anything less than a max contract, per @WindhorstESPN “Windhorst noted that James and his camp want the Lakers to make a contract offer, and if it is for anything less than the maximum, they want the Lakers to explain why and what other players they are going to target with the money that is saved.” (Via hoopshype.com/story/sports/n…)

This is a disgraceful late-game show of effort by the @cavs. Hate to say it, because I’m a @nyknicks fan, but it’s just the truth: when you see this franchise quit like they just did, it needs someone who cares a bit more. Someone proudly accountable to Cleveland. Yes…..I’m saying it…….they need @KingJames to return home to save the day…..if THIS group is ever going to bring a title back to Cleveland. Seriously!!!!
