The Los Angeles Lakers are not expected to trade Austin Reaves this offseason. Reaves has been a coveted potential trade target as the Lakers evaluate their options on a major trade. The Lakers drafted Dalton Knecht at No. 17 and they are expected to keep him as the franchise is believed to have moved off trading future draft capital in a short-term move given the age of LeBron James.
“To set the record straight, the Lakers, I don’t see any scenario where they’re moving Austin Reaves this offseason,” said Shams Charania on the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday. “If anyone has seen the way J.J. Redick has been glowing about Austin Reaves… J.J. Redick wants Austin Reaves to really fulfill his potential. Whether that’s been an All-Star caliber player. Whatever it is. He has high hopes for Austin Reaves.”
Reaves re-signed with the Lakers last offseason on a four-year, $56 million deal.
