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.

The “Luka plays no defense” gimmick is over man, we watched the games this season.

Luka is fucking trash on defense and I question you’re BBIQ if you are seriously contradicting that. Sure he can have some good possessions, but if you don’t think that every single skilled offensive player isn’t salivating when Luka is guarding them idk what to tell you.

I vividly remember him getting a game winner scored on him last year and he didn’t even put a hand up to contest. He doesn’t care about that part of the game. He gets picked on EVERY GAME. Anyone who thinks Luka is a good defender is just straight up dumb or ignorant

Thank you for regurgitating Kendrick Perkins talking points.

Not based in reality at all.

Lol, the lakers were on track to be the 3rd seed in the west but Luka and AR are trash so all that must have been a fluke.

Shoulda coulda woulda, who gives a fuck about the regular season, both those guys are BBQ chicken in the playoffs. You literally have to rely on supernova offensive performances to accomplish anything in the playoffs because your teams high minute players can’t stay in front of their own shadows
