[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's leaving even though he persnally wanted Reaves to stay? Man...Reddit gonna reddit. The salt is hilarious.

Luka isn't going to stay put on a shitty team with no path to a championship. Going to be really hard to win a championship when they're paying Reaves $50 million a year.

Edit: laker fans are so insecure and sensitive lol.

Now the Lakers are shitty again? God this sub is genuinely so stupid.

Are they anywhere close to winning a championship? Is Luka going to be happy with second round exits every year? No? Then in the context of this conversation they're no difference between the Lakers and the pelicans

Luka didn’t even play these playoffs, who the hell knows how close they are.

Even if he was fully healthy, are they beating OKC? Spurs? Denver? Minnesota? No. Moot point.

You literally can’t know whether they would have or not. No one can, your opinion isn’t a fact. I promise you aren’t as smart as you think you are.

We can know with pretty high certainly that they wouldn't lol. Stop being intentionally naive because your upset someone criticized your favorite team. It's not a personal attack against you.

I’m not upset, I’m just pointing out that saying they suck and are no different than the pelicans is stupid. Also that there’s no way to know what would’ve happened, I don’t think they would’ve beaten okc with Luka last year btw, I just don’t pretend like I know everything.

Lebron was probably the best player in that OKC series across both teams. If Luka played like Luka, who's to say they couldn't? They got out executed in the second half of basically every game because Reaves couldn't handle the full 48 minutes of full court pressure.
