Recently revealed Lakers' offseason plans will shock you

The NBA world wants to know what's up with the Lakers this offseason. 

After the Luka Doncic trade, pundits everywhere want to know if the Lakers will make another bombshell trade to acquire another key piece to their championship puzzle. 

According to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, everyone might just have to hold on a little and temper their expectations. 

“Everyone is aware of the noise from the media and on the message boards (shoutout Lakers reddit), no one is acting like a trade is going to happen this summer for a couple of reasons,” Woike wrote.

“One, the Lakers and the most important people in the organization all love Reaves and his journey from undrafted free agent to a talent that people think is All-Star caliber. And, at just $14 million next season, he’ll be one of the most productive players in the league per dollar minus some superstars on the very early stages of their rookie deals.”

It’s true that Reaves is incredibly valuable, and his contract value is like none other in the NBA. However, that might just encourage the Lakers to hold onto their budding star and look to other places for their next big man.

“Long story short, the reality is this: Reaves averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists this season. The only players to exceed all of those numbers are Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Damian Lillard, Doncic, Cade Cunningham, De’Aaron Fox and LaMelo Ball.”

“That’s the list and the Lakers know it. If they do trade him, it’ll be because some team makes them an impossibly good offer. Not because they have to.”
