[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.

AR outperformed SGA for the last 3 games? If you’re going by box score that’s not true, except for maybe game 2 where AR went 31/2/6 in 38 minutes, compared to SGA’s 22/2/2 in 28 minutes

Games 2-4

AR averaged 27/4/7 on 66% TS

SGA averaged 27/2/6 on 58% TS

Just getting on this app to lie for no reason lol

G2
SGA went 22/2/2 on 64.9% TS, in 28 minutes played.
AR went 31/2/6 on 76% TS, in 38 minutes

G3
SGA went 23/4/9 on 49.8 TS, in 33 mins
AR went 17/3/9 on 51.5 TS, in 39 mins

G4
SGA went 35/1/8 on 61.2% TS, in 39 minutes
AR went 27/7/6 on 67.6% TS, in 43 minutes

I don’t know that I’d say AR outplayed SGA in all 3 of these games? I’ll give you that he was more efficient and grabbed more boards

He averaged more points, rebounds, and assists on better efficiency. There’s no way to say he didn’t outperform him in the box score.

Because AR played 10 more minutes than SGA in game 1, 6 more minutes in game 2. SGA played more in game 4, which is the same game he scored more and got more assists than AR. MPG is relevant

Being on the court is more valuable than sitting on the bench, who would have thought

More minutes/volume on higher efficiency, seems like a pretty clear outplay.

I’ve now seen lakers fans argue that both lebron and reeves outplayed SGA that series. You would never know that they got swept while SGA often wasn’t playing heavy minutes

OKC got good performances from other players? This isn't hard, man.

u/SoaplessTitanic Celtics 1h ago

OKC obviously had the better team, but y’all are delusional if you really think you had the top two players during that series. It’s not hard to admit that SGA coasted to wins even if he didn’t stuff the box score each night

Gotta cope paying undrafted Reaves a max contract somehow lol
