      Is it lebron fans that wanted him gon or is it lakers fans ? I’m a Bron and lakers fan but I’m not of them delusional fans that always wanted someone gon when they have bad games.

      @@Sportsfan-cm5up Lebron loves Austin Reaves and wants him to be on the court at all times. Lebron trusts Reaves to take over games and have the ball in the clutch moments. It's delusional Lakers fans that criticize every mistake and Darvin Ham holding him back from reaching his potential. Reaves should've been point gaurd not dlo

      @@hustlerinc6285 I mean he’s 6’5 he’s a good fit for sg but if dlo leave next season Austin should play the 1 and we should get a real sg cuz lakers always use the players at the wrong position. Like tp he’s supposed to be a sg but he’s playing at the 4.

      @@Sportsfan-cm5up Agreed. Austin should play PG and lakers should get a SG like Caruso who can shoot 3's and play elite defense. Caruso is a top 5 defender in nba. Reaves finally gets more shots with dlo gone and a bigger opportunity to carry the load which he's fully capable of average 20+. Lakers should also upgrade the PF spot from rui. Lakers need quaility role players not another star

    I like what I'm hearing. Attitude is about the team, about winning, about taking his lumps and being professional, about appreciating the greatness of others on his team, about holding himself to higher standards. I'm glad to hear he didn't think he delivered in the first 2 games because he didn't. But he was fine in the next 3. This guy is alright.
