The legendary player suggests that the Lakers trade Reeves! US media lists three trading plans: 3-for-1 with the Pelicans and 1-for-4 with the Spurs

On September 22, Lakers' three-title star Horry suggested on a podcast that LAL traded Austin Reeves because the role of Reeves and Doncic overlaps. A team does not need two players with similar functions. What the Lakers need is players with clear division of labor, and the team pays attention to fit.

On September 23, US media Dunkes pointed out the direction for the Los Angeles Lakers. They listed three ways to trade Austin Reeves, which can gain some assets that can help the team improve before Reeves jumps out of the contract.

The first set is a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Lakers packed Reeves, Vincent, and Klebert for Herbert Jones.

Although Jones only played 20 games due to injury last season, he is 1.98 meters tall and is one of the top 3D wings in the league. His career three-point shooting percentage is 36.6%, which is the defensive asset that the Lakers need most.

The second plan is a trade between the Lakers and the Spurs. The Spurs had an interest in Reeves early in the morning. They hope to see Reeves join forces with Vampan Yama, and the Lakers sent Reeves to get Sohan, Champany, the first round pick in 2027, and the first round pick in 2029.

Although Sohan and Champani in this transaction are not of great use, they can still play as a substitute, and there are better future opportunities if they hold two first-round picks.

The third plan is to trade with the Pistons. The Lakers sent Reeves to get Ivy, Reed, the first round pick in 2027, and the second round pick in 29 years.

Ivey averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 0.93 steals, 0.67 blocks last season, with a shooting percentage of 46.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.9%. His physical fitness and defense are much better than Reeves.

Paul Reed is a player who can play 4-5 positions. His defensive ability is stronger than Hayes and can also be used. After all, there is still 1 first round + 1 second round in this transaction.
