Austin Reaves Discussion: Overachiever Who Underachieved

Yes. They have German blood but Reaves feels he is as American as apple pie.

 

the press will be like "lol lakers have to pay him too much money" when actually the deal likely saves us money because if nobody offers reaves that money in FA, he's not taking a 4/52 from us. he's taking a 2/23 with a player option that allows him to be unrestricted next year and thus eligible for an even larger contract which we couldn't match. i think we're hoping for the RFA offer, tbh.

 

Do our friends, the Washington Bullets have cap space? We need them to offer Reaves his current max. Wink wink

 

So Team USA, Steve Kerr, and Grant Hill view AR as one of the next group of young stars. The last World Cup cycle in 2019 included Tatum, Brown, and D-Mitch.

The current group includes Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, and Tyrese Haliburton. Pretty good company for an up and coming undrafted 2nd year player.

Soon the world is about to catch up to the greatness of Stone Cold Reaves Austin!

AC was/is also invited. Ah... would be amazing to see them side by side.

 

I think it has more to do with Austin being a Laker and the Philippines is majority a Laker country. He’ll be absolutely mobbed here. It’s more promotional and for box office than anything else.

 

Austin’s always spoken highly of you?

 

It's phenomenal for his international brand. Getting that exposure while a Laker is invaluable for his career. There's no guarantees he'll be on Team USA in 2 years or that he'll still be a Laker (if he takes a 2 year deal this summer, he might price out of what we can do in 2025). Great decision by him and his agent, they're kicking a** at every decision that's been in front of them since draft night. Let's hope that continues this summer for an option that's best for him and for the Lakers.

 

Branding his a** off. Team USA and Tay Tay

Austin about to be the subject of a hit breakup song

 

LOL just saw a story last week how happy in her love life she finally was. Watch out Austin.

 

stay away unless you want to be part of a hit song..... Hit being the operative word

 

That's gotta be BS, right?

 

Not when you're HIM.



Sasha pulled Sharapova .... for awhile. Insert "He was" for "He's"

 

Every young dude needs a fling with an older woman

Taylor Fuels New Dating Rumors with Austin ReavesGotham - Getty Images
Swifties, have you heard? There are already rumblings of a new man potentially entering Taylor Swift's love life following her brief fling with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy. According to numerous online reports, the Midnights singer is now being linked to Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves after they were allegedly spotted together at a bar in Arkansas.

The NBA baller's brother Spencer Reaves called attention to the online theory by laughing off a tweet that claimed, "Following her breakup, Taylor Swift was reportedly seen in an Arkansas Bar this weekend with star Laker basketball player Austin Reaves."'

Austin's been in the headlines a lot over the past few months. The 25-year-old scored 23 points in his first career playoff game, which helped his team upset the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the Western Conference series. He went on to have a successful stint in the NBA playoffs before his team was ultimately defeated by the Denver Nuggets.

News of Taylor's alleged hang-out sesh with Austin comes days after sources confirmed her split from Matty Healy. On Monday, June 5, TMZ reported that a source close to Taylor confirmed that she was single after dating the musician for a little under a month. Entertainment Tonight later claimed that conflicting schedules and incompatibility caused their split, but the insider claimed Taylor was just having fun. "Taylor and Matty broke up. They are both extremely busy and realized they're not really compatible with each other," the source said. "Taylor's friends want what's best for her and aren't shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship."
