Agreed, he’s a reliable scorer when Luka and LeBron aren’t playing. Now, I’m wondering, if he were in another team and became their main scorer, would his salary be higher than his current contract? He hasn’t reached his prime yet. Maybe being the third option is what’s hindering his growth from becoming a more efficient scorer. What do you think? The Lakers will continue to rely on him for their offense until Luka and LeBron come back.

You're right, there is a big disparity, as Jokic is dishing out a 12 apg, but Sengun is at 7. Maybe there could be similarities as we love to see players like that. I remember Ben Simmons before, he was being compared to Lebron overall.

But we all know that it's not even close as Simmons have lost it already.

The Kings is leading the defending champion OKC at half-time. Let's see if the Thunder can recover in the second half.

The point for most teams like Knicks and Nets is that they are already worth a shit ton, so they do not need to win games, they are getting fans and selling tickets at insane prices. I mean there were a decade long period where Knicks didn't even made it to playoffs, and they had the highest price of tickets after Lakers, think about that.

So only thing these owners have in mind is that they made an investment to this team, and they want to make sure that the team can pay for itself, they do not want to put money from their pockets, so no more luxury tax, no more over salary cap, get rid of all expensive players, trade them for picks or cheap players, and just make sure it can sustain itself without putting in a dollar, and that way team value will go up due to inflation, and then they can sell one day for a lot more. Look at how richer Mark Cuban got, simply like that.

It also happen on Anthony Edwards to see this https://www.sportscasting.com/news/anthony-edwards-fined-50k-for-obscene-gestures-toward-referee/

Crazy that Lamelo didn't manage to stop his self to do that. But maybe he's just frustrated that's why he made that gesture.

I'm sure he'll  get fined, but let see how much the NBA will fine Lamelo.

In my opinion, the problem is that when LeBron and Luka are on the court, Reaves is overshadowed by them and doesn't score as actively as he does when they are not. Perhaps the Lakers should make some adjustments so that Reaves' effectiveness doesn't decline at such moments.
As for his future contract, I think Reaves will try to get the most out of the next offseason because he totally deserves it.

The Portland Blazers won against the Lakers 108-122 last time.

Now Minnesota Timberwolves are again without Anthony Edwards, but in the Lakers, still no Doncic, Lebron James,  Adou Thiero, Gabe Vincent, and Maxi Kleber.

For me, if both Lebron James and Doncic in the team, they are struggling to score, just look what happened with Portland game.

Oklahoma struggled against Sacramento, but played better in the final quarter and finished with a 107-101 victory.
Shai once again surpassed his 30-point mark, scoring 31 in the game.
Indeed, when Shai scores close to or above his goal, Oklahoma wins games.
Yesterday was the same.
Shai is Oklahoma's favorite, and if anything happens to him, Oklahoma will have a very hard time winning.

Thought I was gonna cash out a good amount today since I bet on the Kings. I figured OKC would lose, they’ve been on a long road stretch, probably tired already. But that 4th quarter really surprised me; they’re such a tough team to beat. Just like in the finals, they’re almost unbeatable when it comes to closing games.

And in another game, I actually thought the Sixers would lose too, but the opposite happened and they pulled off the win in the OT.
As far as I know, these two teams are still the only ones undefeated this season so far.

he has improved a lot, last year they have a great run if only the star player show up in the playoffs they could have been in the next round, i think he would improve as the season progress, every time he faces a star opponent he always match it, he may need to ask help from veteran players and train with them, so that he know how to defend and score against the star players, if he could do that he would be unstoppable, and help durant  to have more open shot.
