"Based on what I understand, what I keep hearing: Austin wants the max. Is he willing to give the Lakers a hometown deal? I'm not so sure about that" - @BA_Turner on Austin Reaves
@CiudadBBall@JSMonYT I think you can get like a Kleber like player I don't know if he can can be sustainable now with the injuries that he's had but that style of player yes.
@awriterjbrady I definitely think they're looking at taking one of those wings at 25 that have been pushed down because of all the guards... And yeah take one of these big men In the second they're going to buy a second round pick.
Most of these players are second round grades which actually leads me to believe like most people that they're trying to get into the top 10 of the second round That would be my best bet by buying a pick.
The Lakers have worked out a LOAD of bigs ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft (pick #25), per HoopsHype.
