Avery Bradley and Austin Reaves deals fully guaranteed

Good news, Reaves looks like a find and Bradley's numbers have been trending up since Jordan and Bazemore got pulled from regular rotation.

That's where the $4 million from the Rajon Rondo trade went. Money well spent. Reaves strikes me as the prototypical hustle and glue guy that every team needs.

Just a massive failure by this front office. The design. Execution. Direction of where this is all headed. Our gameplan is Westbrook. Bradley. Reaves. As if we are just making this stuff up as we go, on the fly, hoping and wishing for a successful outcome.
We never had a well thought out strategy. Just cut and paste

I like Reaves... But I think he's getting unwarranted hype by some... He's got solid role-player potential... Which means, given past experience, he's not going to be with the Lakers long... He'll become an asset we won't want to spend money on and he'll either be traded or walk in free agency... So keep that in mind with him...

Bradley has been everything anyone should have reasonably expected of him... Solid on D, if not great (he's not in his prime anymore), sporadic Offense... Basically a mid-bench guy...
The issue there is, not really Bradley per-se but if you look at the free agent signings as a whole, there was a lot of crap there... Bradley isn't crap but the whole package seemed like over-confidence and there were potentially better options out there... Everything after Westbrook was pretty garbage, outside of Monk, Ellington, and Nunn...

So no real heartburn with keeping them... Probably not a lot of other options out there, and I'd rather see DAJ and Bazemore bounce first...
Maybe a B- move in total...
Never have rice at Hanzo's house...

Good. The defensive "dirty-work" players this team was missing at the start of the season.

Hell Yes ... Lock Reaves up, he a keeper :)

Lose DAJ, Baze and Ellington and get some young talent to replace them

We/Lakers will be good to go then
