NBA Season 2025-26

[Who]

Oooh, wow, that is a scary idea.

Lakers fans asking "would you trade Austin Reaves for Giannis?" ... what is scary about that is that with A Reaves breaking out like he has thus far this season, Reaves might actually now make the Lakers a competitive option in the trade market for Giannis.

Giannis and Luka 1-2 punch for the post-LeBron era. The new Shaq (Giannis) and Kobe (Luka). The new Magic (Luka) and Kareem (Giannis. The new J West (Luka) and Wilt (Giannis).

There is a big difference in the salaries but LA has a couple of spare $10-13mil salaries which you could add to the package to make up the difference. Gabe Vincent, Vanderbilt, Maxi Kleber, and A Reaves. They need one low near minimum salary guy to make the numbers work for Giannis.

A Reaves = 28.4ppg on 50.9% FG 7.7 threes per game at 37% 9.6 FTs per game at 87.4% 6.7apg 5.5rpg 67.3% TS. And his numbers are actually higher than that when he plays with LeBron or Luka.

How many teams will be offering a player than A Reaves? With his improvement this season, that is now a legit offer for Giannis. LAL could actually land Giannis and pair him with Luka for the next 5-8 years!

Could be the modern-day Kareem trade - Brian Winters was sent to Milwaukee where he kept the Bucks afloat for a few years before Moncrief arrived and turned the Bucks into a real title contender (obviously Marques was huge and the Lanier trade made an impact). Reeves definitely won't have a Moncrief coming over with how the Bucks have absolutely zero high draft picks in the coming years though

The problem with this is Austin Reaves has a player option for next year, meaning he'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason. That significantly reduces his value as a trade piece, especially to a team like the Bucks.

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis, another former NBA champion, is expected to be a critical trade target of several teams, including many of the East's contenders. The Detroit Pistons, Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors are expected to be suitors for Davis, league sources told ESPN.


The Mavericks are open to exploring the trade markets for Davis, center Daniel Gafford and guards Klay Thompson and D'Angelo Russell, sources said. Davis' agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, has met with Mavericks interim co-general managers Michael Finley and Matt Riccardi and requested clarity about whether the franchise wants to extend Davis in the offseason or trade him ahead of the deadline. Finley and Riccardi stated the franchise wants to keep its options open and view how the team plays for the next few weeks. They have not ruled out the possibility of an extension.
