the\u00a0Atlanta Hawks\u00a0for\u00a0Dejounte Murray\u00a0last season, according to Bleacher Report\u2019s Eric Pincus.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cL.A. and Atlanta negotiated last season with talks surrounding Dejounte Murray (though Young is believed to have been discussed),\u201d\u00a0Pincus wrote on September 10.<\/p>\n<p>Young, a three-time NBA All-Star, has remained in Atlanta while Murray was dealt to the New Orleans Pelicans this summer.<\/p>\n<p>The Lakers have identified Young and Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell as their star trade targets in an internal discussion,\u00a0ESPN reported in January.<\/p>\n<p>But that was before Young dumped Klutch Sports, whose top clients are Lakers stars\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0and\u00a0Anthony Davis, for Creative Artists Agency as his

significant intel that Young is available, but that could change as the season progresses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The salary cap expert noted that Young, who has three years left on his five-year, $215 million max deal, has to waive his trade kicker to help the Lakers land him in the event he becomes available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">If that happens, the big question for the Lakers is are they willing to give up\u00a0Austin Reaves\u00a0and their two first-round picks (2029 and 2031) to land Young?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Austin Reaves \u2018Untouchable\u2019 in Trade Talks<\/h2>\n<p>The Lakers have made Reaves untouchable in any trade talks, according to ESPN\u2019s Brian Windhorst.<\/p>\n<div class=\"intersectionObserverRefElement\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI just know JJ [Redick] has big plans for Austin Reaves,\u201d\u00a0Windhorst said during the September 6 episode of his \u201cHoop Collective\u201d podcast. \u201cNot only that, when there were discussions with the Lakers this summer and teams had discussions with them and Austin Reaves came up it was a hard \u2018no.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Windhorst noted that Reaves was expected to take a major leap last season. And despite averaging career highs across the board \u2014 15.9 points, 5.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds \u2014 Reaves had an underwhelming season based on the expectations he would pop as one of the league\u2019s brightest young stars following his Team USA stint in the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Manila.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just know that JJ really believes in Austin Reaves,\u201d Windhorst said, \u201cand I think he\u2019s going to try to put him in a position to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reaves\u2019 agent, Aaron Reilly, believes that would be the case based on his reaction when Redick\u2019s hiring was announced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis coach is about to show a different part of Austin\u2019s game [that] none have you seen. Kept receipts on all that third superstar [expletive]. Great hire for LA \u2013 going to be a big year next season,\u201d\u00a0Reilly tweeted on June 20.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Lakers\u2019 Top Concern<\/h2>\n<p>After their failed pursuit of Murray and other wing players, the Lakers have shifted their focus in shoring up their frontline.<\/p>\n<p>Davis and their new coach JJ Redick want the Lakers to trade for a big man.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing Davis has made clear to the Lakers, sources told ESPN, is his preference to play alongside another big more often,\u201d\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Dave McMenamin wrote on September 12.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the same sentiment Redick openly said in July.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou certainly have to look at what I think is actually a very good roster, a very balanced roster,\u201d Redick said in an interview with\u00a0Justin Termine and Eddie Johnson on Sirius XM NBA Radio during the NBA Summer League. \u201cWe\u2019d love to, we tried, but we\u2019d love to, at some point, get another five man, a big bruising five man.<\/p>\n<p>You look at the Western Conference right now, whether it\u2019s Denver, Minnesota, OKC with what they added, certainly Memphis, they\u2019re going to be back in the hunt, they added\u00a0Zach Edey, certain matchups in the playoffs, you\u2019re going to need a lot of size.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyLakers VP Rob Pelinka watches as the Los Angeles Lakers host a press conference.
