Isn't he as terrible as Branham or Mcbuckets on defense though?
If Reaves Can Somehow Be Routed To The Spurs I Wouldn’t Hate It. Give Up Some First Round Picks If Needed. He’s On A Damn Good Contract And He Has The Shot Creation Creativity This Team Sorely Needs.
Isn't he as terrible as Branham or Mcbuckets on defense though?
He Is, But This Team Needs Incremental Improvements Whenever And Wherever It Can Find Any. Jumping From A (Currently) Non-Player In Branham To Reaves Would Be Big For The Team. And I’m Not Sure I Ever See Branham Becoming Reaves-Good Ever.
The Energy And Heart Is Missing From Branham Tbh
I hope we can at least get 1 capable role player instead of just a bunch of 2nd round picks. Reaves wouldn't be a bad addition
If this is so, the Spurs would be wise to trade one of those highly protected FRP's (and a couple of 2's) for him. He is a Spurs type player, elite defensively and with an incredibly high bball IQ. He is the type of player you want around Wemby and the young Spurs as opposed to some who might bring a lockerroom cancer into SA. The Spurs picking up Herb and DJM this season would be great. Sure it hurts our own draft pick but who is better than them that we can draft in this weaker draft this year??? Our team defense would vastly improve and Herb wouldn't be taking any shots from Wemby. DJM would but the Spurs need someone to take end of games shots for the team, because right now they don't have anyone to do it.
Insider Names 4 Potential Trade Candidates For LakersBy Brandon Marcus January 22, 2024 @BranOnTheBall

Most people agree that the Los Angeles Lakers will settle on some sort of trade before the upcoming NBA deadline, but no one is sure which direction they will take.
Speaking on Run It Back Monday morning, Shams Charania gave insight on who the Lakers are currently looking at.
“The Lakers are doing their due diligence. Dejounte Murray, Bruce Brown Jr., Tyus Jones, Terry Rozier, I’m told those are names to keep an eye on,” Charania said.
However, Charania’s statement makes it clear that one trade is currently more likely than the others.
"Charania said that the Lakers and Atlanta Hawks have held extensive discussions about sending Murray to LA.
Any potential package has centered around D’Angelo Russell, although the Hawks are hoping to get a third team involved because they don’t need his point guard expertise since their backcourt is run by Trae Young."

No to Reaves because he will cost one unprotected first round pick given his age and team friendly contact. Unprotected first rounders can only be traded for proven star players which Reaves is not. If the cost falls below an unprotected first then yeah go get him.
So ST went from wanting to offer this guy north of 80 million to him not being worth a 1st round pick.
I personally feel he's worth the Toronto pick. He had a rough start of the season but he's looked good and can start or come off the bench. He'd fit well here.
Reaves is just John Collins, SpursTalk's latest undeserving obsession.
Lakers can't get any of those players. They have next to nothing to offer.
He’s not coming here as a reroute. If he is being traded it is likely to Atlanta for Murray.
Shams says in the video that he expects the Hawks and Lakers to start talks up again closer to the deadline. Hawks are trying to find a third team to take D'Angelo Russell.
We already know this, it's not really news, and no one wants Russell.
Russell used to be empty stats now he’s just a contract.
I'd trade him for the Raps pick in a heartbeat. Lakers wont tho. Great contract even if he has regressed this season.
If the Hawks are really wanting to reroute DLo to a third team, I would welcome him for expirings and 2nd rounders.
I mean if it's for the Charlotte first ok. Otherwise meh he's just someone who had a big contract year but came back down to earth after getting paid. Now he's back to being a crap defender with an okayish three point shot as opposed to being the elite defender shooting threes at a 40% clip he was last season while playing for his contract. Lakers really should move Reaves for Murray, then Davis for a deal like Brooklyn got out of Phoenix for Durant, and then see if the Heat will give them Jaquez and a first for LeBron.
Reaves is bad defensively but not even close to Branham. Branham literally lets his man shoot 57% against him like he was guarding 99-00 MVP Shaq every night.
Reaves is a worse defender than Branham.
Saw an article that suggested Spurs should sign John wall to a vet minimum. He may be injury prone and lost a step but he should still be able to assist at a high level and may work well with Wemby. Just throwing that out there, lol.
Tre has been pretty solid since getting the starting job. Wall seems like someone who'd pout playing off the bench for a 15-20 win team.
Lol at Lakers "due diligence". Thinking they can always get what they want without putting in the work. A perfect symbol for American Exceptionalism.
But Austin is still relatively new to the NBA and not cancerous. Also playing in the shadow of LeBron, and always with the potential of being traded, I imagine can take a toll and probably has this year since they're not doing as well.
But it's a non issue. He isn't coming here.
you cant say like this when you defend branham![]()
