Reeves can be traded, team reporter revealed that the Lakers are asking for a price! US media sends 3 teams plan: exchange for Wiggins + Weill

Basketball

"Not-selling" Reeves can be traded, and the team reporter disclosed the Lakers' asking price in the latest report! The US media "fadeawayworld" quickly gave a three-team trading plan that is expected to each win, and the Lakers exchanged for the championship wing Wiggins + super insider Kylewell.

The Lakers had obvious three major shortcomings

After getting Doncic by incredible means in the middle of the season, the Lakers entered the playoffs with an exciting third place in the Western Conference, and were eliminated by the Timberwolves 1-4 gentry in the first round. During the

period, the Lakers exposed three major problems. The first problem is that 40-year-old James has serious physical weaknesses and it is difficult to take into account the high intensity of both offense and defense, and more wing defensive resources are needed to share the pressure.

The second biggest problem is that the backcourt dual cores are all "defensive colanders". Both Doncic and Reeves have frequently become weak defensive rings named by the opponent in the playoffs.

Compared to Reeves, Doncic has a higher offensive ceiling and better star level. At the same time, the possibility of improving defense in the future is greater, because Reeves is limited by basic physical talent, while Doncic has a figure and will.

It is worth mentioning that shortly after the end of the season, the Lakers fired their original chief physical training coach Stret, who played for the Lakers for 6 years.

The Lakers then rarely published recruitment information, saying that the team plans to re-recruit a new coach who "can mobilize training enthusiasm", which once caused heated discussions among the US media, including ESPN.

The Los Angeles Times Lakers team reporter Dan Woike also gave a special explanation, saying that the channel for posting news is no longer the Lakers' concern, and their core goal is to reshape the physical fitness training system this summer.

plus Redick publicly stated at the season summary press conference that some players did not reach the "chapter-level physical condition", which shows how much importance the Lakers attach to this shortcoming.

The third biggest shortcoming is the inside. After Doncic's trade, Hayes was the only one left in the inside of the Lakers. As a result, he was abandoned in the playoffs.

Pellinka also publicly stated at the season end press conference that strengthening the center will be the Lakers' starting target.

Reeves' asking price is exposed

With the three major shortcomings, Reeves naturally frequently falls into trading rumors because his role seriously overlaps with Doncic.

Even though Pelinka publicly stated that the team will continue to build a team around James, Doncic and Reeves, the team record still revealed the Lakers' real asking price for Reeves.

As before, the Lakers have a high price for Reeves. Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Woike pointed out that the Lakers will not trade Reeves unless they get a "top inside".

The US media gave a 3-party trading plan

Faced with the Lakers' "idealized" asking price, the US media "fadeawayworld" posted a relatively reliable 3-party trading plan, and obtained Wiggins and super newcomer Kylewell through trading the Lakers.

The potential trading plan is as follows

The Lakers get: Wiggins + Kylewell;

Heat get: Morant;

Grizzlies get: Reeves + Finney Smith (sign first and then exchange) + 2025 Warriors first round pick + 2031 Heat first round pick.

The Lakers upgraded Finney Smith to Wiggins without sending a first-round pick, who will provide the defense and three-point shooting that the Lakers need.

At the same time, he sent Reeves away and replaced the Heat's super freshman Kylewell, the 21-year-old insider averaged 9.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.1 blocks per game in his rookie season.

was once a strong contender for the Best Rookie, and also won the Eastern Conference Rookie Award for the Month. The most important thing is that the Lakers did not give up the first round pick, giving the Lakers the space to continue to strengthen the lineup.
