Confirmed deal : Los Angeles Lakers Refuse To Include Austin Reaves In Potential Zach LaVine Trade
The Los Angeles Lakers’ stance of not trading away Austin Reaves for someone like Zach LaVine still holds strong this trade season.
The Los Angeles Lakers are still expected to be searching the market for the right upgrades that can transform their season. Even though they’re 16-12 and looking well-positioned to be a top-six team in the West, it’s clear that they need more firepower across their roster to be legitimate contenders.
Zach LaVine has been mentioned as a potential Lakers target for years now until chatter died down last season. With LaVine’s improved form, it seems like the Lakers could explore a deal for the Chicago Bulls swingman, but not at the cost of Austin Reaves, according to Joe Cowley in the Chicago Sun-Times.
“I think any deal involving the Lakers will have to include Austin Reaves. What I am told is that the Lakers are not interested at all in moving Austin Reaves.”
Reaves is averaging 17.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists this season, shining as a certified member of the Lakers starting lineup.
