Austin Reaves Discussion: Overachiever Who Underachieved

35 points on 14 shots is absurd

9/14. 16/18

needed every bit of that with AD clearly not being right physically or a midget mentally.

 

Insane numbers while guarded by guys 5 inches taller. Remarkable

 

THIS. At first it made sense to me, but at this point, get this kid his minutes and put the ball in his hands

 

@ZenMaster to tide you over the next two days. official NBA channel Reaves 1 hour highlights

 

I mean you don’t see this everyday. I shudder to think about the offer sheets from other teams we have to match. Other teams fans are mad in the comments lol

 

Would you look at that. A backup PG they say? Where did I hear that before...

 

an obviously drunk chandler parsons, who also says the lakers "can't afford" him. he's 0-2 here.

 

Reaves should be imbedded as a permanent starter and worked up to 35 minutes a game. With Lebron out he is our MVP. It would be nice if it was AD but it clearly isn't. Every game he goes without starting shows Ham is clueless.

 

he wore down last year and had an injury this year that tends to happen from cumulative wear, too. i think 35mpg is playing with fire.

 

AT this point, he is likely our best player. With AD playing in what appears to be an injured capacity.

EVERY SINGLE TIME Reaves comes into the game, our team is falling and he picks them up and brings them back from the brink of disaster.

 

BALLER!

 

Enjoy the LOVE here while you can Austin because sure as **** as soon as you start to rack up 2 - 3 typical basketball injuries in a season for a guy who plays as fearlessly as you do against even bigger players, and the s*** happens variety of same ..... this select group here of armchair tough guys will be all over your skinny white injury prone a** crying about it constantly.

 

He won't be here next season, "problem solved"...

 

or we match poison pill and people spend two full years of forum ink trying to fire the front office when the back end comes due.

but i'll just enjoy it while i can. what an absolute steal.

and i think we'll get him on a THT contract this summer. someone needs to use 20 million in cap space to sign him to the big scary poison bill contracts. houston (tons of space, though they just re-upped porter) and utah (oh my would danny ainge like it) are probably the biggest threats to do that. i guess indy might, just to try to screw us.

but the big bill comes due after lebron is probably gone (and possibly AD, if everyone's correct and he's going to spontaneously combust next year). so it may not be much of a worry.
