Austin Reaves Discussion: How Much Is He Worth?

I get it people want to jump on the feel good story train and ride around feeling good island.Im going to stay rooted in the reality of what the NBA is ….a business

 

So now if someone isn't a top 5 player, they're interchangeable and glorified role players? This is going to be a long month and a half until free agency starts.

 

the real concern is next year, any time reaves has a bad game (like all good players do...). this place will be unbearable.

 

This is what this organization is about; it's win or bust every year. If you don't agree with this, you're probably supporting the wrong team

 

I think the essence of a forum is people expressing different viewpoints. Why would it be unbearable to you, having people disagree with you? This is not supposed to be a big circle jerk, is it?

I don't particularly understand why keeping Reaves and paying him the max appears to be more important for some of you than winning, but I respect that

I also don't understand why some of you seem to be extra salty just because some people are willing to float the idea of trading Reaves to make the team better, or question if we should be giving him the max.

Those concerns seem extremely valid if the goal is the Lakers winning NOT necessarily winning WITH Reaves.

of course if the goal is what @LTLakerFan suggested of being good in the regular season, and being content with not winning, then sure have at it.

 

Stop mansplaining me and misquoting me. I’ve been a fan longer than you I’m sure. The problem here seriously is you guys with Reaves telling us if he’s on the team, as decided by the fairly brilliant new owner Mark Walter, at whatever price HE decides is fair and /or needed …. that it’s a Fact we’ll never win a title, and we’re wrong. You’re right it’s all about opinions, and it’s you guys that can’t wait to at least see what the new ownership does …. with all your Reaves doom and gloom. Mix in an IMO and it makes it a lot more palatable instead of your claimed immutable truths.

 

I like Reaves, and I seriously hope I'm wrong and that we can win with him and Luka. You don't have to throw a fit, and start d***-measuring on who's the bigger fan, just because me and others think differently.

 

You're the one with the fan crack telling me I'm supporting the wrong team. Pot meet kettle. That was supposed to be "fansplaining" and got (mis)corrected
