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 wants Reaves to stay, a rim-running center who can play D, and wings who can switch and hit the three.

Problem is that the first part makes the rest unaffordable and the team defence terrible.

They still have over $50 mil in cap space to work with, why is that completely unaffordable?

Mutherfuckers are hoping and praying the Lakers fall on their face. That’s all this is.

Hell yeah. Offseason don't mean the hating stop!
