Episode Details

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 Dončić. 

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
