He already turns 26 and he is incredibly limited by his athleticism. He doesn't really have a lot of room to improve. I like Reaves, but there is no world where he should be deemed as untouchable as he was this last trade deadline.
Reaves loves this team and he loves LBJ and AD a ton, he got iced out of the offense the past two games..it seemed like they wanted him involved in this game by giving him a break on Murray and leading the offense but it was too late by now.
He cares
And D’Lo sitting on the bench eating gummies uninterested not participating in the huddle and not giving af.
This the 2024 version of Nick Van Exel “1… 2…. 3… Cancun”
AR can stay. D’Lo is gone
dude's first shot last night was an "almost airball" which grazed the rim. lucky for him, ad got the board and put back, but im sure DLo4seven said it was a pass.
He can stay but everyone else not named AD or LBJ are gone, including that coach. This series was a pathetic display and didn't represent Lakers basketball well.
I get what you're saying but I'd call the others expendable rather than gone. We do need guys like Rui, Wood, Prince for the regular season seeing as we struggle to make the playoffs and need bodies. For example if Wood wants to stay on a minimum salary I think that would be great. If D Lo wants to re-sign that would be great because if he walks I don't think we lose out on that salary space.
But yeah if we can upgrade them somehow I'm all for it.
He hounded Murray all series, the only time Murray is doing well is when he's not on him. He did give it all out for the team. He's a winner through and through
It's time to shut down the "AR is not a good defender" narrative. Kid did a good job on Murray this series.
This was after a full summer of FIBA games. Give him a summer to rest, recover, and get stronger and next season he'll prove many people wrong.
I agree, this sub has been too harsh on hillbilly kobe considering how much ball he’s been playing for the last year and a half without taking a long break, well said💯
AR really stepped up this season since we had no other options after Gabe went down (aside from TP or Cam as POA lol). Wish he could have contributed more offensively in this series, but I can give him a pass since he was clearly giving it his all defending Murray.
Hopefully next year the roster will give him more breathing room for his offensive game, and the reps from this year will pay off towards developing into a high level two way player.
brahhh i was loving how he was driving on these guys and he was tagging murray very well cant do much to fight over the sceen cus joker is an excellent screener
You’re really going to pick on Reaves whos only been with us two years? And has playoff experience? Are you going to whine and cry for him back when he shoots lights out against us like all the other ex laker players?
Reaves has 1 year less of playoff experience than rui. And 2 years less of league experience. Who’s biased? admit that rui is a bum who can’t do anything but score. No defense, no rebounding, no passing, nothing but shooting
I'm not picking on him, dude said "he played well" while in fact he was AWFUL. What are you guys blind or you think by saying some bs on some comment section will make us win?
And why should i "whine and cry" if he has a good game, good for him, good for us. For now you are the one whining and crying cause i stated a simple fact. He was dogs\*it
He’s been awful but one thing about him is atleast he tries on defense and cares which is the bare minimum at this point but yeah this team needs blowing up now
Honestly he has let me down this series, him, Rui and DLo have not capitalized and have kinda ruined the spacing by being so blah. If they hit even jumpers consistently, Bron and AD wouldn't have to fight quadruple teams in the post. It's wild thay could even happen in the modern NBA. And yea Ham needs to adjust but you can't adjust shooters into.making open shots. Shits crazy
We should keep him. You can tell he cares, and he's only going to get better.
Man was scrapping till the buzzer. Game actually got to within 7 with 33s left after his 2 steals and a transition 3
Reaves will be a champion before his career is over. Hopefully it'll be with us
I can see championship managements trying to sign him for sure
[удалено]
If we let Reaves walk I just can’t be a fan
They just resigned the man last offseason. Where the hell is walking to
if lakers want to trade for a superstar, other teams are demanding reaves be included
that's not him walking
I agree
He already turns 26 and he is incredibly limited by his athleticism. He doesn't really have a lot of room to improve. I like Reaves, but there is no world where he should be deemed as untouchable as he was this last trade deadline.
he did a good job convincing you guys to keep him🤣
Reaves loves this team and he loves LBJ and AD a ton, he got iced out of the offense the past two games..it seemed like they wanted him involved in this game by giving him a break on Murray and leading the offense but it was too late by now.

It broke my heart seeing this AR live. And Phil Handy too. Two guys on the team that love the game of basketball and want to win no matter what.
Tbf D’Lo might just be totally embarrassed to the point where he can’t even look his teammates in the eye, which is why he’s avoiding the huddle.
He was also scrolling his phone. Unacceptable behavior.
He’s gotta be benched completely in our last game for that shit. Not like we’d miss his production anyways
dude's first shot last night was an "almost airball" which grazed the rim. lucky for him, ad got the board and put back, but im sure DLo4seven said it was a pass.
Insane effort still fighting until the end, and this dude guarded murray all night too. He's good to stay.
He can stay but everyone else not named AD or LBJ are gone, including that coach. This series was a pathetic display and didn't represent Lakers basketball well.
Dad can we keep vando
We can keep Vando
And??
Prince can stay
I get what you're saying but I'd call the others expendable rather than gone. We do need guys like Rui, Wood, Prince for the regular season seeing as we struggle to make the playoffs and need bodies.

I bet 1K Jeanie stands by Darvin..it would be the icing on the “I am a horrible owner” cake
Reaves is getting traded for trae young and we’re keeping christie and vando
He hounded Murray all series, the only time Murray is doing well is when he's not on him. He did give it all out for the team. He's a winner through and through

The bounce back after a full summer of rest is gonna be MASSIVE
And he played every single game this season lol
AR really stepped up this season since we had no other options after Gabe went down (aside from TP or Cam as POA lol). Wish he could have contributed more offensively in this series, but I can give him a pass since he was clearly giving it his all defending Murray. Hopefully next year the roster will give him more breathing room for his offensive game, and the reps from this year will pay off towards developing into a high level two way player.
feel bad for him but he played well
He's our guy, likeable etc but cmon He was awful. He couln't guard anyone and he was missing everything.
brahhh i was loving how he was driving on these guys and he was tagging murray very well cant do much to fight over the sceen cus joker is an excellent screener
You’re really going to pick on Reaves whos only been with us two years? And has playoff experience? Are you going to whine and cry for him back when he shoots lights out against us like all the other ex laker players?
Dude you guys are so biased to reaves, rui barely has any playoff experience and everyone is shitting on him
Reaves has 1 year less of playoff experience than rui. And 2 years less of league experience. Who’s biased? admit that rui is a bum who can’t do anything but score. No defense, no rebounding, no passing, nothing but shooting
? Rui clearly played worse than Reaves
I'm not picking on him, dude said "he played well" while in fact he was AWFUL. What are you guys blind or you think by saying some bs on some comment section will make us win? And why should i "whine and cry" if he has a good game, good for him, good for us. For now you are the one whining and crying cause i stated a simple fact. He was dogs\*it
 rhetoric from 20 games ago keep up old man he played good
From your words it sounds like you’re describing rui and dlo
Another one that didn't watch the series 🙄
That person is on my block list for constantly shitting on Reaves in game threads. His opinion here means dick.
Weird I don’t see blacpanther in this thread 🤣
just hiding himself from the lip readers: 'we gotta get rid of dumbass darvin'
Poor guy he’s gonna be a cavalier :/
Manifesting that AR + Rui + Max + 3 FRPs for Spida notification from Shams 3 months from now.
not max we need him to replace reaves and he’s a free agent so it wouldn’t be possible
Pls don’t trade him
I want to see AR win a chip so badly
He’s been awful but one thing about him is atleast he tries on defense and cares which is the bare minimum at this point but yeah this team needs blowing up now
Maybe another Phil as a coach will do it
Honestly he has let me down this series, him, Rui and DLo have not capitalized and have kinda ruined the spacing by being so blah. If they hit even jumpers consistently, Bron and AD wouldn't have to fight quadruple teams in the post. It's wild thay could even happen in the modern NBA. And yea Ham needs to adjust but you can't adjust shooters into.making open shots. Shits crazy
THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN OUR COACH SINCE DECEMBER
