Austin Reaves has become a fan favorite in L.A., but the Lakers might have to choose between paying him big money or trading him for much-needed defensive help. With Reaves reportedly seeking a $30 million annual contract, the front office is weighing a bold trade: sending Reaves and a future first-round pick to Dallas for Dereck Lively II and Caleb Martin. Lively could be the defensive anchor the Lakers have lacked, while Martin adds playoff-tested depth. Would you rather see the Lakers invest in Reaves or shake up the roster for long-term defense? #Sports #Basketball #Lakers
