I thought it was the future of the team, and after a round of series, I lost my own future!

The Lakers, a veteran strong team, are destined to not be ordinary to play here. If they play well, they will attract the attention of everyone. If they play poorly, they will definitely fall into the abyss. Almost every year, young people will go out here, and there will be people here to pursue their dreams. Okay, let’s talk about a undraft pick who pursues their dreams in Los Angeles - Reeves.

Like most of his peers, Reeves also came to Los Angeles to pursue his dreams. In order to join the Lakers, he did not hesitate to join the Lakers as a undraft. However, the difference is that Reeves was lucky. When he joined the Lakers, he met his mentor Rondo, and then began to make his mark under James' training until he firmly took up the starting lineup of the Lakers, and was even once called the third giant of the Lakers by fans. In the playoffs, Reeves played as a substitute or started the starter. This topic once became a hot topic among fans, and behind the discussion was largely dissatisfaction with his performance.

If we simply start from the data, Reeves averaged 20+ per game in the regular season this season, and he did perform well. It can be said that the Lakers were able to score third in the Western Conference. Reeves made a great contribution. Just when everyone thought Reeves would definitely win a big contract, the arrival of the playoffs made Rivers fall into the abyss.

does not mean that Reeves' data is not good-looking, but may be affected by physical fitness. Reeves did not have any advantage in the playoffs, and it once became a loophole on the defensive end. The failure of the Lakers this season has become a certain fact, and the Lakers will make targeted reinforcements next, and the core of the reinforcements must be strengthening based on Doncic. The failure of this season has proved that they are inappropriate. Who else can the Lakers want to strengthen? It must be Reeves.

Of course, it does not mean that Reeves has to leave the Lakers. The most important thing is to see if he can accept playing on the bench and whether he can accept salary cuts. Such conditions must be difficult for Reeves, who has not received a big contract. It is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. This is the best explanation for this young man.

Similar stories continue to repeat in the long history of the Lakers. Caruso sticks to his role and eventually becomes the champion puzzle, and Kuzma chooses to run away and gets a maximum salary contract. Behind each choice is the collision of personal traits and opportunities of the times. How does Reeves choose? As the playoffs end, all decisions become clear. Reeves is destined to be unsuitable for the Lakers. He can pursue a higher stage, but it must not be the Lakers.

Reeves grew up and was also criticized. James is already 40 years old. What the Lakers need is to win in the present. The difficulties faced by the Lakers are still not small. James can play for a few years. Doncic renews his contract and seeks a suitable center. Under various problems, renewing the contract Reeves is definitely not the first move. Although Reeves is capable enough and has beautiful data, it is a pity that the priority is not in Reeves' hands.

For NBA players, it is a business itself. Reeves is lucky to be able to perform like this. There will definitely be a team willing to give him a big contract. Instead of pursuing illusory respect, it may be a good thing to get a big contract of his own early.
