Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

Austin Powers to the rescue. Huge game!

 

I've watched this play about six times now and I don't know how AR got that shot off and made it. It was just him and two much larger Raptors, with another wating for a board. He makes it anyway to tie it at 120 with 42 secs left. Man, the Mamba Mentality of AR!

 

Reaves stock is jumping. Bucks interested? Im a huge reaves fan by the way.

 

BEASTmode engaged, again!!!

 

It's more fun to watch the Lakers when AR is the main engine and not Luka

 

I wouldn't be trading AR for anyone at this point. He is the MVP. Might be a couple others I would trade to build around Him.

 

I would trade everyone not named AR and Luka if it came down to getting the right pieces.
Scottie Barnes would be perfect but Toronto has zero reasons to trade him.

 

It's simply unbelievable. We have 2 Lukas. Both 26 - 27. Not trading that s***. They are going to be the best backcourt duo for the next 5 - 7 years. By a country mile.

 

Only Nico would trade either Luka or Austin.

 

Also, all that b******* about AR not playing defense. He was the 2nd best defensive player behind DA all season long. Seriously. this game is the absolutely prime example.

The entire game he went from running after Grady Genitals to battling Barnes in the post, taking charges, doubling on Barnes, blocking out.

People just don't understand how hard that s*** is. And he scored 44 5 11. FFS.

AR never was and never will be a problem on defense.

 

A Luka-esque quarter in that 3rd with 22.

Dominating when Luka sits


But he's ready to hand the keys back over


Rui said in his post game that Austin mentioned he was tired before this game. We might need to find him a break when Luka does come back.


This image and the stat to follow... just unreal

Game on the line and Austin is swamped and arguably the GOAT is wide open even with the night he had

In the same room as Joker with anything... good job Hillbilly Kobe

 

I LOVE that dude. I regret, every day, that Kobe didn't get the chance to see his white reincarnation.

Also, how awesome it is that this HBK moniker we all thought was silly is AMAZINGLY appropriate.

 

What only 5 assists.
Trade him for a pack of chips and some cash consideration.Might even including Rui too

 

what 5 assists?
