Lakers magic deal: 3-for-2-for-2-for-Leves, Sages + Bitaze helps Zhan Dong

On June 7, Los Angeles media Laker Tom suggested that the Lakers trade with the Magic, and he believes that the deal is a win-win deal, with the core of this deal being Austin Reeves and Jaylen Sages.

He titled: Austin Reeves and Jaylen Sages exchanged, which will make the Lakers/Magics stronger.

The Lakers can give Reeves, Hachimura, and Klebert to the Magic in exchange for Sages and Bitaze, who are mainly playing defense. The Lakers, who lack defensive ability, have greatly improved their strength after joining Sages and Bitaze. The magic with insufficient offensive ability also increased significantly after being granted to Hachimura and Reeves.

Why do the Lakers trade?

Sages is the Lakers' most needed backcourt defense vanguard. He is Doncic's best backcourt partner, and the Lakers need the championship backcourt combination. Bitaze can provide the Lakers with an experienced substitute center, and the Lakers also have a first-round pick in 2031 to trade, and can get a qualified starting No. 5 position in the future. Why does the Magic trade?

Reeves is an excellent ball holder and organizer, and is crucial for magic that lacks offensive firepower so that they can break out of the siege in the East. The space abilities of Hachimura and Kleber will also improve the Magic's outside level, which requires organizers and space players too much.

Laker Tom simulates that the 3-for-2 transaction does not involve draft picks. The Lakers sent Reeves, Hachimura, and Kleber for Sages and Bitaze.

The Lakers did not send Vincent, Kneckett, or the first round pick in 2031, so the Lakers can indeed find a starting center. The suggestions of Lake media are really a win-win for both teams.
