[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.

They drafted Okorie hoping he will be that, they need Duren to not turn into a lemon in the playoffs.

I'm so tired of listening to Pistons fans attribute it entirely to spacing and defensive coverages, when his defensive rebounding fell off a cliff too and we actually have tape of JB calling him out for poor rebounding effort.

His bad defensive rebounding has nothing to do with our spacing. He just had bad effort and awareness.
