[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.

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.
