  1. As good as he is, he gets scored on more than he scores

  2. hellstarrecords

    He’s an Easy 25/5/5 guy if Lebron was never on the team

  3. Swaggyzilla69

    He’s solid, but I’m not going to say he’s untouchable either

  4. NobelRafael1

    I think his defensive shortcomings are made much more worse since he’s paired next to Dlo and isn’t on the court with Vanderbilt.

  5. justredditting1010

    I’d still trade him. He should be a 6th man at best, cannot be a starter on a championship team

  6. ComoEstanBitches

    No one wanted to trade him but Ham put the team in a position for a change and bro was the only attractive trade bait to fetch an all star

    To tell the truth I feel as if our biggest issue is between LeBron James and the lack of effort he is showing he doesn’t care you can see it in his body language. Only time winning matter is if something has to do with his legacy like the scoring record or the Play-in. last night He casually walks the ball up the court and forces bad passes that result into turnovers .

    He is the one that need to go him and Ham.

    He’s solid but you have to account for his defense too. He’s mearly an above average player I’d say.

    You need to take into account that he’s fearless. The Laker Shooting Tax is real. Some guys got it and some guys don’t in the Purple & Gold and paired with the likes of a LeBron or Kobe. 

    Just the fact we KNOW Reaves won’t piss himself in the playoffs makes him almost untouchable with that contract.

    Paul George shouted out Austin recently on his podcast for being such a great consistent “underrated” player.

    The league knows he ain’t no flash in the pan.

    I don’t understand. Are these numbers supposed to be so impressive that he wouldn’t be a trade piece in the right deal? Cause no.

  12. BaullahBaullah87

    He’s like a 16 5 5 guy now w room to still improve…not bad as a third or fourth guy

  13. I like Reaves, but there is a reason he has the second worst +/- on the team. It is actually kind of shocking how far down he is at -81 for the year. He is tied for 448th in his total +/- ranking in the NBA.

    Defensive liability, and sometimes plays without fundamentals on the boards. I don’t know if Reeves could perform like this without to Hall of Famers. Needs to step up and be the brains of the team like John Stockton.

  15. I’d rather have Caruso if I’m being honest. Having D’Lo and AR on this team is a bit redundant and both are shives on defense. Although AC lacks the creativity in offense, his role is better suited for what our current team needs. We can’t stop anyone this year; it’s been so absolutely frustrating.

  16. noknownothing

    Good for him. But Lakers are not winning a ring with a Reaves/ Dlo backcourt.

  17. cloudclimber24

    More like the casuals wanted to. Stayed in school all 4 years, smart kid, good shot and about the team

  18. Same guys who bring up defense will NEVER call out lebron for coasting like a mother fucker. Dudes just want to use reaves as a trade piece. Fucking disgusting

    Nobody who understands contracts wants this man traded away.
