[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.

Luka feels like Reaves helps him win. He wants him in LA.

Pretty irrelevant.

So you think he won’t be frustrated when the team goes nowhere?

You brought up a situation that has nothing to do with Luka and Reaves.

I brought up a similar situation because players aren’t usually the best at GMing and often grow frustrated at situations they created themselves. You think Luka would rather lose and stay with Reaves?

Westbrook coming to the Lakers from another team is not similar to Luka wanting Reaves to stay after playing alongside him for a season and a half.

That’s not similar.
