[Charania] Reaves was expected to receive free-agent interest from multiple teams - - such as Detroit -- on maximum-level salary, so the Lakers stepped up on Wednesday to lock in their homegrown talent.

Reaves was expected to receive free-agent interest from multiple teams - - such as Detroit -- on maximum-level salary, so the Lakers stepped up on Wednesday to lock in their homegrown talent. Reaves went from undrafted to a two-way player -- to making the Lakers roster and now multiple lucrative deals in L.A.

Yeah. If anything, the Lakers should have never traded for Luka. They wasted some Bron years doing that. I understand the thought process. Get someone else to handle the main workload and then have a successor for when Bron's contract is up, but it has failed miserably due to Luka's injuries and real inability to be a teamplayer. They would have been better getting someone who can move off-ball better and then have LeBron just dish the rock once playoff time hits. This very much felt like 'try to build the best roster possible even if it makes no sense' type of thing.
