Uncover the trade proposal that could make the Los Angeles Lakers instant contenders by flipping Austin Reaves.

De'Aaron Fox is a better basketball player than Austin Reaves. We can get that part out of the way from the start. There is no real statistical argument otherwise.

The Los Angeles Lakers will not give up Austin Reaves in any deal for De'Aaron Fox, which is why a trade is unlikely.
