@SleeperBot: The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly excluding guard Austin Reaves from trade negotiations, particularly those involving Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine. The Lakers are not interested in a trade package including Reaves for LaVine, as the pieces do not fit and they remain steadfast in their decision. Reaves is currently averaging 17.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 5.1 assists this season, while LaVine averages 22.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. The Lakers' front office and coaching staff believe the team can compete for a championship title when fully healthy, prioritizing the current roster over new prospects.
