The Ringer has a cool story on our boy Reaves which I thought some of you might be interested in.
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2021/12/15/22831178/austin-reaves-los-angeles-lakers-newark-arkansasSome cool things that stood out such as Rondo being his mentor, he currently lives in a hotel, him and Monk both being from Arkansas and they played against each other in the State Championship and him trash-talking back to LeBron

James and him has the 2nd highest 2 man combo net at +20.7, and only to him and Ellington at +23.4.
Him with Anthony and James has +18

Yeh not now, but I'm talking in the future. Need to start keeping these type of guys especially in a few years when Bron and others retire.
We will need these type of players. I'm growing tired of Lakers letting these players go Or trading for them and end up being wrong trade etc

What if Detroit demand that they include him with THT and Monk for Jerami Grant, should they do it?

nothing a SRP won't fix
dude's a 23yo rookie, averaging 5.8/2.5/1.1
he's not going to be a deal breaker

Nay ... I would build a team around Reaves ... He's a Keeper

guys who play hard on both end of the floor, I want a team full of them
