Austin Reaves could very well be posting gaudy numbers on a team that does not have Luka Doncic and LeBron James ahead of him in the pecking order. That is not what the Los Angeles Lakers guard wants. Reaves has made it clear his main priority is to win.
Dan Woike of The Athletic focused on the upcoming contract decision for the talented offensive star in a recent write-up. Reaves did not want the easy path to a pay day. The 27-year-old reiterated his desire to stay in Los Angeles before dropping a very encouraging sentiment for anyone that might be reading in the Lakers front office.
