Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

I still think it winds up in the higher end range of 30-35. Just based on his comments and his own self awareness.

 

OK I’ll be first in with an atta boy Austin. 31 doesn’t impress any more I guess plus normal gritty game. Way to carry Luka too.

 

31 pts in a support role is strong

 

Still not moving great, maybe he needs to rest up that groan groin

 

HIM delivered in the clutch to shut the door on the comeback!

 

Big time shots in the 4th.






Keeping company with the best

 

Up that trade value, AR, so we can trade you for Herb Jones or some such.

 

Austin in the locker room during reporters interviewing him, “l’m sure he’s [LeBron] sitting in his house while we’re playing, probably drinking a little wine and watching the game and seeing what he can do to help us be successful” and “How bout Bronny James starting in the NBA and LeBron assigned to the G-League (something bleeped out) and laughs, that’s awesome”

 

Groan or no groan. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

 

I'm impressed with the efficiency

 

AR is really shining right now and it's so good to see

His chemistry with Luka is huge

All around solid game

25 pts 6 reb 8 ast

 

someone stole his assists tonight - selfish turd

But 26 points on like 12 shots or something? So efficient.

 

He's got great chemistry with Lebron - AR had a bunch of hockey assists and was on the receiving end of the ball movement as well during the Showtime like run. Defenses are going to have a real hard time now with a fit Luka and AR kind of playing the star jack of all trades type

 

Wizardry

 

Anyone still worried about how Luka and AR fit together?
Didn’t think so.

 

I don't know, not sure they are going to be successful!!!!

 

This may be the best post ever. You have nailed LB perfectly...lol. Between this and the Doom my day is complete.

 

You've obviously never lurked on LG and seen the Large contingent there led by Japago. Who in every post has to spam AR getting 40M and it ruining any title hopes going forward. AR is a major "problem" to them. And it get's ignored that it's entirely possible, even if he continues this play all year and in the playoffs, that he might sign for 35M or less. Same situation as Ayton IMO, they both would weigh more money elsewhere .... sure. But LOVE it here with the Lakers and have proven themselves fine (even in Deandre's short stint) under the brightest of lights. Absolutely NO guarantee some all hallowed "better fit" POA type comes in and on OFFENSE shoots, scores the ball and runs the offense on his own and handles these clutch moments on this biggest stage anywhere near as well as HIM.
