Hope we re-sign him
AR is now 6th in EPM, he is legitimately playing like a true star and almost superstar level if he can keep it up.
He is absolutely worth 25% of the cap next year.
I’m hoping we can sign him for 4 years or more at $30/yr but he’s definitely worth Desmond Bane money (5yr $207M). I think he’ll take less to stay with L.A. on a competitive team though he’s never come off to me as the kind of guy who wants max money on a rebuild (or really that he’s interested in playing anywhere other than LA)
All Star campaign starts now!
Shooting god/GOAT, while we are at it.
Lebron needs to act a Tom Brady take less money and sign with the lakers.
But but but only plus 3 …. AR going crazy this year love it.
It really is an extraordinary level of offensive efficiency.
He was due to some positive regression on 3’s
He was on fire today
In any other team he’d be the PG and would avg 35. Been a fan of him since last year and he is someone I really wish retired a laker.
100% TS!!!!! 😭😭😭 Austin I never doubted you. 🧎♀️
I really hope he gets the All Star nod this year man, he deserves it
This is actually an absolutely insane stat, especially given the fact that he only shot 9 free throws.
According to Chat:
Games with 35+ points and TS% ≥ 100%
There are only a handful:
1. Dirk Nowitzki — 48 on 15 shots (117% TS)
24 free throws.
2. James Harden — 42 on 12 shots (~116% TS)
21 free throws.
3. Kevin Durant — 48 on 14 shots (~108% TS)
20 free throws.
4. Austin Reaves — 38 on 15 shots (~100.2% TS)
Only 9 free throws.
🎯 That’s the crazy part:
Reaves is the ONLY player in the 100%+ TS club who did it without:
• 20+ free throws
• A 50-point game
• A ridiculous FT parade
• Or a 15+ 3-pointer night
He did it on normal free-throw volume, normal shot volume, and no gimmicks.
This is extremely rare.
Like: “might not happen again for years” rare.
He had an all-time insane game last night, efficiency-wise!
AR has become a better finisher the past few games.
Which is exactly what we needed.
Since his skillset of being a mini Luka is kind of redundant with him and Luka and Lebron on the court.
Hope he can keep this up.
Especially in the playoff where it matters.
He needs to be able to take advantage of the attention that Luka in drawing even against elite focused defense in playoff, that’s where you make your money.
He’s him
and people actually said Desmond Bane was better lol
Reaves about to be the official sponsor of Guggenheim Investments for $50M / year
How do we have AR on such a team friendly contract and still have other holes to fill?
Kobe was the black HIM.
Where are the dudes who wanted to trade him?
Bron can finally not be the first option. Which he waited for years.
His stats would be higher if the refs last night called all the fouls on him
Should have had 42 but refs waffle on 3pt fouls while shooting game to game.
Btw they really tried to give him 40 lol, JJ was screaming at AR when he’s just talking to Mavs bench with 1 min remaining in the 4th.
