This is a win win trade in my opinion the Lakers fix their defense OKC gains the piece that pushes them above San Antonio

Lakers perspective it sucks trading AR who's been playing like an all star but when you're defense is struggling and you already have Luka on the team another score first guard isn't going to help you much so moving Reaves is a smart move imo to better are odds of becoming title contenders and we fix all of our problems with this trade and don't create any new ones

Thunder perspective I'm uncertain if OKC would do this trade because of how important dort was to them last year and how affordable Wallace is for the next couple years but they won't beat San Antonio in the playoffs because of their lack of scoring versatility and Reaves adds another level to it and makes them less perimeter dependent and able to make a lot happen inside between their big 4 he's also a cheap all-star caliber guy making less then 14 million for two years they also free up 11.5 million next year with Vincents expiring contract

Overall I think this is a win win trade for both teams giving equal value but lemme know what you think in the comments and who says no
