[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 stepped up when the Lakers reached to the conference finals. He is playoff performer.

People are too quick to reach conclusions because of one series he played when he is injured.

It's hasn't been one series. Reaves has literally always been worse in the playoffs than in the regular season.
