On a recent podcast Zach Lowe said he is “monitoring the Austin Reaves situation” and repeatedly circled a less noisy trade path for the 26 year-old-guard. “I’m just monitoring the Austin Reaves situation. I’m monitoring it”. He described a scenario that is not a blockbuster package for a superstar but instead a straight up fit for fit swap, a one for one style deal. “There’s another species of deal that has been less talked about which is like a one for one like for like like top-30 player for top-30 player and just a fit kind of deal”. Lowe underlined that he does not expect it to happen but that it is worth watching.
