About this episode
Austin Reaves struggled big against the Celtics on Sunday.
He has struggled relatively frequently against the NBA's best defenses this season, and had a rough go against the Minnesota Timberwolves in last year's playoffs. With huge decisions coming, it has a lot of people, whether fans or those who follow the league for a living, asking ahrd questions about his long term future in LA, especially as a running mate for Luka Don?i?.
Do they fit well enough together to make a viable 1-2?
Should the Lakers pursue a more obvious fit with Luka? A true two-way wing that bolster's Luka's defensive shortcomings?
Is that player available, even in a trade?
Should the Lakers try to find rotation depth, then another All-Star elsewhere?
Or should they pony up, because there isn't going to be a better option out there?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
