Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

ROFL.

 

from manlisten on LG:

“Just to reiterate, the Lakers will have enough cap room to bring back Ayton, Rui and Smart, sign Keon Ellis, a backup 5 like Robinson or Hartenstein and then give Austin as much as $35M and STILL remain under the 1st apron. It would not restrict team building at all. Anyone who thinks otherwise is insufferable, doesn't know what he's talking about and needs to kindly shut the (bleep) up already.”

 

And if you scroll down on the same page, what does Panamaniac say: "And if he keeps balling out, he'll even tradable post extension..." Manlisten responds, "Exactly."

Bear in mind, I know how cap space works with Austin: I put the video up with Keith Smith 2 weeks ago. Go dig it up.

 

ROFL.

 

After this incredible game, that's all you want to say about Austin Reaves?

 

No kidding! And I wasn’t even gloating at him. Give the player his due … what an attitude.

 

Ayton and Austin, best duo in the west right now.

 

All-Star Austin making the haters wet themselves. Won't be the last time.

 

AR saw Vlade’s pre game comments. Dropped a 50 on him.

 

This is the difference between you and me. I'm a Lakers fan. I'll be here in 3 -5 years rooting for the Lakers probably under a different name if I get banned, but I'll still be here.

When Austin is gone, you'll be gone, too because you're a "players" fan. Austin had a historic game, great game. Good for him, and I'm glad the "Lakers" won. Good thing about the NBA? We have 79 more games, and I want to play into June.

Get it? Jeez.

 

So, who is the player out there rn we are trading for that can put up equivalent Historic Laker numbers, run the team while both Luka and LeBron are out, be humble enough to play third fiddle most of the season AND play defense like prime Kobe Bean?

 

You were beating a dead horse with a terrible take and it took one game to make you look foolish. Just take the lumps, you’ve earned them.

 

Personally? Just depends who shakes loose. Be humble enough to play third fiddle? He's best at a third option. Wait, do you guys think Austin is a number 2 on a championship team?

Just asking for clarity...

 

Terrible take? Oh my. I've debated people here who wanted to take Okafor and Ball number 1. You were probably 1 of them.

Although, I did like Russell over Okafor, but they both suck now. Either way, this forum is full of awful takes. I'd argue that if we were to dig through post histories, you probably have more of those awful takes than I do.

Being this is the Reaves thread, I'll screenshot these takes and when May comes and if we're bounced (hope we're not) I'll be here with the folks who are touting Reaves as the next big thing.
