Magic fans are my fav opposing fanbase 😂.

It’s the Magic TikTok’s when they win for me

where’s cade

1. SGA Luka 2. Maxey AR 3. Ant Mitchell. Fair?

Cool thing is All NBA is positionless now.

1st team could be 5 guards if you wanted it to be.

Cade needs to be in there somewhere. I dont really know who the odd one out is though at this point, probably Ant. I think you probably boot the one with the worst record at the end of the year or fewest games played if it stays this tight

I want to get a Reaves jersey as well.

I’ve never seen one in my area though.

The Spurs are even more mad to not offering him. Imagine AR with Wemba?!

5 years $240 million? That’s his max number in the offseason based on projected cap number.

You think Kyrie got a little reaves in him?

Nuts. Where’s the thread for that one?

LeBron thought they were gonna take a timeout lmao, AR had other plans

i dont think it was a botched timeout it was a trick play

4ppg in college freshman year, undrafted, to potentially all nba and still getting better at 27 is insane

Has anything like this really happened before? Its such a strange ascension, and he keeps getting better every year

Basically Solo Leveling NBA version.

thats why they say he is him

It’s pretty unreal, reaves turning out to be a good role player would’ve been a good outcome considering he is undrafted, he is shattering expectations with his play this year though. Looks like a legit offensive star

There are 15 slots for All-NBA and he’s definitely among top 15 in the league right now.

Media will ask a question is he the best 1st option if the 1st option is not available lol

Don’t let the Lakers fans hear this. If you think we shouldn’t be disrespecting our own players, they think we are emotionally attached to a player and not prioritizing the teams’ success or whatever bullshit those trade proposal morons think all day

Facts, I hate when our fans do that shit. After all AR has done for this team. He fills whatever roll the team asks of him, never complains, and more than anyone else has been the guy that is always there for us night in and night out giving it his all. Every time one of our stars is out, who’s stepped up to the plate? Austin. I didn’t want to say it earlier because people would call me crazy, but if hypothetically getting Giannis cost us Austin, I don’t think I would take it. Logically, I know Giannis is better, but Austin deserves to be a Laker for life if he wants to be

They stupid. Never forget.

AR and Luka should be off the table on any trade or trade offers.

Alright relax

Same. Giannis for Reaves has a chance to backfire if Giannis continues to have questionable health or if he begins to decline athletically with age. I’m not even sure if Giannis is a good fit with Luka since he doesn’t like being the roll man on the pnr. We already see that Luka and AR are a dynamic duo with great chemistry. Why mess with that? The Lakers need more depth, not another superstar

The blackest white man you ever did see.

Warriors fans also might be the only fanbase worse than us at overvaluing their players

Well you gotta be accepting of it with all these literal facts in your face now right? Otherwise it would look even more idiotic lol

40 points AND 10 assists lol

Yep, that’s 100% how it is. AR when he has high usage, puts up high usage stats. Some of the best in the league, at that. Exact same with Brunson. I remember Luka was out when the Lakers played Dallas and Brunson torched them.

Reaves came up in the league as a connective role player. Same thing in college, he was a role player until he transferred and then flashed on ball skills. That’s what’s nice about him because Luka is definitely not an off ball worker. Reaves can take increased load as the primary ball handler (e.g. Luka is resting or out) but simultaneously can play off of Luka

41-5-10.3 on 53/42/91 shooting in 4 games without Luka. Actually ludicrous

41 points without Luka in 4 games this year

Harden like run I think. I’ve been saying it since last year that I think he has a chance to have a Harden like trajectory if he gets traded because of his performances whenever he’s first option. Turns out he’s going to make it happen on the Lakers even without being traded.

Rather thug it out with AR

any GM worth their salt would make this trade. fans only want to trade a player when they start playing poorly and get way less in return.

I’m not sure Luka and Giannis is as “dream” as people think. Giannis and Luka both want the ball in their hands and Giannis isn’t a great screen setter, so I’m not aure how much chemistry they’d really have. It’s the reason the Dame/Giannis pairing also didn’t look as great as expected

I’d still take Giannis in a heartbeat obviously because of the upside potential of the pairing but it may not be as natural as you’d expect. Ironically I think (healthy) AD would be the dream duo

And how did that go for Giannis when he had another ball-dominant star player (Damian Lillard).

Luka and Giannis just play too differently, even if Giannis comes to LA the Lakers simply don’t have the supporting cast to contend around them. People should also be worried about Giannis injury concerns, dude is out again with another calf strain and hasn’t had a healthy playoff run in a couple years now.

Whereas AR has proven time and time again that not only can he play off-ball (which is how his career started playing alongside Bron and AD) but he can turn it up as the 1st option when Luka is out like tonight’s game.

Giannis hasn’t played DPOY level defense in years

He’s not responding because got deployed to the IDF

Timestamp?

Lakers is the biggest franchise so it has the highest concentration of dumbasses.

Yup he’s averaging 28/6/7 on 68% TS those are legit superstar numbers lol

I’d still take Ant over him as an all-around player but honestly he’s playing as well as any other SG right now

MJ, Kobe, DWade, Clyde, TMac and Prime VC

Idk I was just putting feelers out lmao
