Windhorst When Luka LeBron and Reaves play together they're just not a good team when it's just Reaves and Luka out there the Lakers are an excellent team When all 3 of them play out there they're not It's actually a 20 point difference

Windhorst 2 days ago the Lakers and Austin Reaves' camp were pretty far apart in their discussions about where his contract would land Then the Lakers yesterday pivoted increasing their offer somewhere in the neighbourhood of 50 per season

Draymond says he was surprised at the Reaves contract I didn't expect the Lakers to go so high On a team where you had Austin Luka and LeBron the team didn't fare as well as one would hope I thought Lakers would stand pat and negotiate it down Austin had some struggles in the playoffs

Windhorst LeBron's intention is to play and the focus right now is making a deal with the Lakers They are negotiating I think he's going to try and make a deal with the Lakers The league generally believes the two sides are going to come together

Windhorst If LeBron Doesnt Make Up His Mind Soon Hell Likely Be Out Of LA If LeBron isnt ready to make up his mind the consequence is increasing the chance of the Lakers moving on I think LeBron fully understands that

Windhorst The Los Angeles Lakers would be very open to the prospect of trading LeBron James for Jarrett Allen

Max Kellerman The team wouldve functioned better had Luka dribbled a little less LeBron been playing point more I felt like LeBron needed to assert himself a little more Rich Paul Youre not wrong
