Are these guys off the trade table?
Los Angeles Lakers team president Rob Pelinka, speaking during a press conference to announce the arrival of JJ Redick as the team's new head coach, listed some fringe young rotation pieces as being part of the team's "core." For fans hoping these players could be used as trade sweeteners, this is not what they want to hear., Pelinka supposedly considers Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Max Christie, and Jalen Hood-Schifino to be key players moving forward.
It's no secret that Los Angeles loves Reaves, whom the team signed to an absolute steal of a deal last summer on a four-year, $53.8 million contract. Hachimura is a talented player, but a bit pricey, and his mid-sized contract is the exact kind of thing the team could look to include for salary-matching purposes in a trade for a higher-upside asset .
