Rui is WalMart brand John Collins - a guy they already moved away from. Is Reaves an upgrade for them over Murray? Murray has the better handles and is a better defender. I don’t think Reaves is a bad deal at all. I think he’s a winning player. But this is more same same for Hawks.

I think reaves fits the roster a little better and atl does seem to be a little like tor where they don’t want to entirely blow it up.

But they do want to avoid the tax

Yeah, just like the Raps. Plus, they hired Quinn Snyder and that was not to totally blow it up.

Reaves is a SG, unlike Murray.

Trae and Reaves could play off each other better than Trae and Murray.

Murray is still the better player.

He is ultimately better with the ball in his hands.

But, even at this usage, Reaves isn’t duplicating his stats.

The Lakers are in the toilet with Reaves as their 3rd best player.

What would Atlanta be with him as their #2?

All of these moves are blow it up start over scenarios.

But, Like Woj reported, they want to recoup some of the picks they gave up to get Dejounte.

Welp….

Things can change.

But, if the Lakers don’t budge gotta think they will be outbid.

I don't have an issue with them wanting to hang on to Reaves. But hopefully they don't get outbid because they refused to include him.

I will be shocked if someone doesn’t give more than the Lakers can offer for Murray, but it wouldn’t be the first time.

What they should do and what they’re trying to do may not be the same

Also they could thread the needle with young players vs picks

That was my whole point when myself and fightintittybags were going back and forth.

I’d see what young is worth on the market

Atl won’t

To be fair not sure who would have the picks they’d want besides okc and Utah

And both are probably thinking it’s too soon for a big move like that (for different reasons)
