FW advises the Lakers to trade with the Kings, and can try to send Reeves away, replace the forward star and two first rounds?

More than half of the offseason has passed. Although the Lakers' lineup has changed, the strength seems to be insufficient. Especially considering that James is likely to continue to decline next season, Reeves' contract renewal negotiations with the Lakers are also at a deadlock. In the West where gods fight, this may become very troublesome.

Media FW made suggestions to advise the Lakers to deal with the Kings, especially to try to send Austin Reeves away. Judging from the specific plan, the Lakers can switch to forward star Keegan Murray and two future first-round picks. It should be said that if they really need to cash out with Reeves, if they get so many chips, the Lakers will definitely make a profit.

As a undrafted draft, Reeves has been a Lakers fan since he was a child. There were rumors in the draft that Reeves begged to ask multiple teams not to choose himself with the second round pick. He just wants to play for the Lakers. But no matter how authenticity is, Reeves finally signed with the Lakers and has also made steady progress in recent years. Especially last season, Reeves ushered in a transformation. He became the third leader in high-quality team, and even during his leadership alone, he had stable performance. However, in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers encountered the Timberwolves. The reason why they suffered a tragic six-year blackout and were swept by the gentleman, and Reeves's condition plummeted is a very important reason. When he doesn't have so many whistles, except for his offense, his defensive flaws will be fully utilized.

The Lakers are still very embarrassed now because Reeves will become a free agent by next summer. To be fair, Reeves' contract is still very worthwhile, but he and his agent refused to sacrifice and insisted on asking for a long-term large contract. Because Reeves' talent is average and it is difficult for him to have a strong tacit understanding and chemical reaction with Doncic, the Lakers management must also be considering this. The King's side is different. They seem to be looking for another reconstruction. For Reeves, Sacramento is far less exposed than Los Angeles in the market, at least it will give him unlimited fire rights, data and potential contracts, and may be further improved.

The Lakers have received a very generous reward. Murray's ability is no worse than Reeves. He is simply a mediocre person and belongs to the engineer's front line. But the Lakers take Doncic as the core. From the overall perspective of the team, Murray should be more suitable for the Lakers' future development than Reeves, let alone draft picks in return.
