The Lakers, of course, have already lost all leverage here, since the entire NBA knows they have a glaring void at the center position. And since they don't have many great trade assets to begin with, potential trade partners will be out to take L.A. for everything it's worth.

This proposed Lakers trade would see Austin Reaves sent to the Celtics in exchange for Jrue Holiday, a proven defensive ace and NBA champion.

Austin Reaves wants to stay with the Lakers. He just has to hope the team feels the same way. There have been numerous rumors that the Lakers may be considering moving on from the talented guard.
