   Here's a Reaves for White trade that works:

   Lakers Rec:
   -Derrick White

   Celtics Rec:
   -Austin Reaves
   -Maxi Kleber

   Lakers get older but get an elite 3&D guard who would be a great fit in the backcourt next to Luka Doncic and a player who has the same clutch gene that Austin has.… https://t.co/2DgDLcqXaV pic.twitter.com/XLDuBotUUR

   No picks. Straight player trade.

   Lakers get:
   -Best player in trade.

   Celtics get:
   -$11M expiring contract.
   -Cut next year salaries from $28M to $13M.
   -Get 26-yr old for 30-year old.

   Lakers have to get better defensively.
   Reaves is not the answer but White could be.
   Reaves for White is 1-way player for 2-way player.
   This would be best deal Lakers could get for Reaves
   White is only 30-years old and can win multiple rings.
   Celtics won't make trade but they…

     Keep in mind Tom, what the Celtics goal is. they want to get under the 2nd apron. they are currently way over. Austin will opt out and will sign a deal that will be larger than White’s. In the end their cap position would worse. I highly doubt the Celtics want to grow their salaries.
