      @@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

      @@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.
