Lake Record: The team sets a high threshold for Reeves and refuses general quotes

May 23 News Recently, Lake Journal Jovan Buha responded to some fans' remarks about Reeves "must leave" in a program, saying that the team has set a high threshold for Reeves.

Buha said: "I think the most important thing is to tell me whether Xiaoli's trade is reasonable and whether it is cost-effective for the Lakers, because we can sit here for theoretical deductions and put forward various assumptions about Xiaoli's exchange for this or that - ultimately it depends on the Lakers' feelings. The threshold for the Lakers to trade Xiaoli is very high."

"I have said before that I have seen someone propose to exchange him for Bam Adebayo, and someone exchange him for Jaren Jackson Jr., but I think both situations are not realistic, and I have also seen someone exchange him for Ai. Sack or Bitaze, I also think it is not realistic, completely underestimating Little Li's value. So, I think a balance should be found in these two extremes... maybe closer to Adebayo and Jackson, but not exactly that level."

"I haven't seen a trade idea for Reeves that makes sense to both sides, and I think everyone generally underestimates how the Lakers feel about him, and what matters is the idea of ​​the Lakers, I've seen a lot of Reeves' trade designs that pay far below the Lakers' acceptance range. The threshold for trading Reeves is very high." Buha added.

Reeves' career-high 20.2 points, 5.8 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals during the regular season, shooting 46% from the field and 37.7% from three-pointers. During the playoffs, his data declined slightly, averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists, shooting 41.1% from the field and 31.9% from three-pointers.

Reeves earned $12.98 million this year, and he signed a four-year, $53.83 million contract with the team in July 2023.
