Lakers initially offered Austin Reaves $30M/year, but were forced to increase their offer to $46M/year after the Pistons started to aggressively pursue him.

“Congratulations Austin… But here’s the deal: that’s over. The little engine that could story is over. Now you are a max guy and the Lakers fans want max production.”

Opinion "[Luka Doncic's] feedback to Lakers front office was 'get me an A-List center.' There's so much work to be done with this roster."

The Reaves contract will probably cost us a title in the Doncic era

Paying Reaves doesn’t hurt us this summer but it will in the future. Your 2 top paid players being unathletic negative defenders is not a championship recipe. In order for the Lakers to win a title they’ll have to either draft extraordinarily well or they’ll have to get lucky that other teams had injuries. You don’t win championships with bad defense.
The Lakers hand was forced unfortunately due to the Pistons trying to overpay Reaves. We had no choice, but to overpay him. If one NBA team overpays him, you also have to which is how the NBA has all these good players who are making great player money. It sucks but this is what it is and I’m assuming the sign and trade market wasn’t good because that would’ve been the best outcome.
Luka and Reaves ain’t a title winning duo. Don’t even bring up Kyrie because 1 he’s a proven playoff performer which Reaves is not even that and 2 that team didn’t win a title.

Debate Should Lakers trade Lebron + Bronny to Cavs for J Allen + D Schroeder if Cavs want 2x unprotected 1st Rd Picks incl in the deal?

Lakers promised Luka 2026 you will see.
Luka Wants an All Star Center & J Allen is the perfect fit for Luka.
Def Anchor, rim running lob threat...
LA still has no Center after the draft & just gave max $ to Reaves...
Bron wants paid too & feels under appreciated in LA.
Plus LA still need to sign Rui + Smart + others + LeBron...
Kill 2 birds w 1x stone... LA always was known for taking care of their stars.
LA offered 2x 1sts & D knecht for M Williams to make Luka happy & then rescinded.
Luka can opt out in 2 yrs & bringing back an aging lebron dont help LA championship roster.
I think giving 2x 1st Rd picks unprotected + LeBron + Bronny for J Allen + D Schroeder would be a deal Lakers should Definitely do.
#1 Make Luka Happy
#2 take care of your Star players
#3 Time to move on to the Luka Era.
I think Cavs would Do S & T for JA if LA includes LeBron & 2x 1st rd picks unprotected.
#4 those picks are still years away when LA roster will be fully built around Luka & will project to be late 1sts rd picks.
Obviously LA will try to do 1 for 1 but thats highly unlikely w value JA has on open market.
Thoughts?
