It would be criminal to give Austin Reaves a max deal
English
The Lakers are about to pay $150M + to a Austin, and he'll deserve it.
But he just got badly outplayed by the Thunder's 15th highest paid player. And that's really what makes the Thunder such a unique challenge for the rest of the league.
English
Lakers after the draft will have 3 unprotected firsts and 3 swaps plus potentially $60M in cap space to rebuild this roster.
I'm excited to see this franchise go all in this summer.
English
People saying no, I just want to know what your plan is. You don't just let your second-best long-term asset walk for nothing. The Lakers just don't have the asset base to let that happen. You wanna think about long-term trades? Go for it. But you can't just let him walk.

Serious question: would y’all bring Austin Reaves back next season or nah?

Rob Pelinka should be fired when this season is over. Can't trust him with another FRP. JHS is out of the league & Dalton Knecht isn't in the rotation. We all wanted Jaime Jaquez over JHS. I wanted Kyle Filipowski over Dalton Knecht but I was happy with the pick until they nuked his career. Get Pelinka far away from the Lakers before he draft another DNP

Austin Reaves said he "would have to watch the film" when asked about how the Lakers can stop the third-quarter runs from the Thunder.
"If I had answers, we would not be struggling."

@JohnCarn487512 @LakersNation If lakers max Reaves there goes our championship chances in the next 5 years. #reavesout

@LakersNation Win on game 4 is the maximum result in this series. Can't get further than that.
Just prepare for the sweep
English
Austin Reaves on how the Lakers can get a win in Game 4:
“You come and compete. There's a bunch of guys in this locker room that are competitors and basically the message in the locker room after the game was we're gonna come in here Monday and we're gonna get a win. Obviously this situation sucks, but that doesn’t give us the license to quit. We got to come in here and compete. We owe the organization that, we owe each other that, we owe our fans that. So we’re gonna come here Monday and play as hard as we can.”
English
Y’all think the Lakers did the right thing by not playing Luka Doncic at all and thinking about the future too, making sure he’s 100% healthy for next season?
English
“I’m not giving up on this series. We’re going to go try to win on Monday. We’re gonna try to extend this series. And we’re gonna try to take this thing back to OKC.”
JJ Redick has faith
English
@LegionHoops I hope it is. The Laker fan base don’t deserve him.
I’d be out. Let them figure it out with Luka & AR.
AR defense still 🗑️ and Luka has to stay healthy.
If AR going to give up 30pts he gotta ATLEAST score 30 a night
English
Next game could be LeBron James’ last game ever in a Lakers jersey.
English
@yournameisdumb @WorldWideWob Hopefully LeBron and Luka win the Championship next season!!
English
@WorldWideWob he’s probably gonna do one more. You know he wants another shot with Luka and I think LeBron is vain he wants to retire on a win lol
English
@LakersLead Hopefully the Lakers win Monday night and the series ends Wednesday night!!
English
@AnthonyIrwinLA I believe in Walter firing the gospel man Pelinka for talking like a prophet and never delivered the truth
English
OKC is just flat-out better than the Lakers, and with a looming sweep, it’s clear the front office has a massive gap to bridge this offseason. ⛈️🏀
English
@LADEig Trade Reeves, get rid of Ayton, get an actual athletic Big to Rim protect set screens and roll to the basket, don’t what to do about Bron but we can’t afford to bring back this roster
English
The second straight game the Lakers have gotten blown out after leading at half…
