It's hard to make allstar as a guard in the West... Too loaded.


Laker nation has his back in the voting. I guarantee you, if he continues progressing at this pace going into next season, Reaves will be AT LEAST top 2 guard in all star voting.

You know it, I know it. It’s only a matter of time.

The bottom line is we gotta pay BOTH dlo and AR this summer. Can't let dlo walk for nothing. Same for austin.

Yeah, the jury is still out as to if they will indeed be the back court of the future, but the timing of their contracts means Jeanie is just gonna have to roll the dice and crack open her checkbook.

AD, dlo, austin and a new max (or multiple solid players) when LBJ retires means we hopefully will not have to go into rebuild mode. Keep it rolling like we used to. Retool, not rebuild.

I have a hard time imagining that Reaves will get more votes than Curry and Luka.

Even if he did, the inclusion of media and player voting effectively stops fans from stuffing the ballot box.

His best shot will be to make the team as a reserve. Right now, he is a long way from deserving that, though.

Isn’t Luka listed as a forward? Correct me if I’m wrong.

Where would LA be without him? Top priority this off-season to re-sign him.

He's getting to the FT line at a Jerry West/Kobe-like clip, at a fraction of the usage.

the difference of AR vs othe foul merchant is he is not just fishing for a foul but he is also looking to finish it and get a bucket. Kid is so consistent and efficient that you will know that he will contribute every game at both end.

50/50/90 with 18 pts, 8 asts tonight

He had that deal since last year. He has an account on Chinese version of tiktok too. This dude is very popular over there.
Not sure about the details of the contract though

The fact that an efficient 18 points and 8 assists is starting to look like a slow day for him, is insane.

Dude needs to be a Laker for life at this point.

Am I the only one who feels like Reaves would still be better off as a sixth man?

I like the idea of him leading the bench unit with one of DLO and LeBron so that he won't have to defer and he can be aggressive and play his full game.

Plus if Beasley is ever going to play well, he needs to be out there with DLO, LeBron and AD so he can get the best looks possible.

Disagree. There's a flow with a DLO-AR backcourt that we haven't seen in 50 years. A pair of guards that are offensive threats at all 3 levels, and can play make while not sucking on defense.

Schroder/Beasley make sense as the 2nd unit guards.

I agree.

I’d have AR closing games, but not starting them.

I envision him in a very Ginobili-like role.
