Overlapping with Doncic? The Seventh Crown champion suggested that the Lakers send Reeves away. Famous reporter said that if the Lakers don t trade, he would be dereliction of duty.

On September 20, there is only about one month left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. While visiting a podcast, former Lakers star and 7-Champion League champion Robert Horry bluntly stated that the Lakers should send Reeves away because he and Doncic overlap.

When participating in a podcast called Big Shot Bob, Robert Horry talked about Reeves. He said: "If the Lakers are smart enough, they should sign first and then send Reeves away. Reeves and Doncic are the same players. I'm not talking about the skill level. They play the same position and do the same thing, which is a waste." Last season was Doncic and Reeves' first teammate in their careers, and the team was eliminated 4-1 by the Timberwolves in the first round.

Meanwhile, Anthony Irwin, a reporter from ClutchPoints, expressed the same view: "Given that the Lakers may lose Reeves in vain (to be a full free agent next year), it would be a dereliction of duty if they don't consider trading him sometime this season, especially if it's obvious that Reeves and Doncic's athleticism issues are difficult to overcome in the pursuit of the championship."

Anthony Irwin also noted: "This summer, the Lakers terminated any negotiations about Reeves and they would not consider trading him unless Reeves is part of the real star in the deal. But that doesn't stop other teams from asking him about him this season, and if for any reason the questions about Reeves and Doncic still exist, the Lakers will have to take these requests more seriously." According to previous reports, Reeves is likely to reject his player options after the end of the season and may seek a contract with an annual salary of 30-35 million. If Reeves jumps to the existing contract at that time, he will become a complete free agent and attract the interest of many teams. According to league sources, teams such as the Spurs will pay attention to Reeves' free market dynamics.
