In 2021, Austin Reeves was not drafted from Oklahoma. Prior to the 2021-22 season, the Reaves signed a two-way contract with the Lakers. The 26-year-old played all four professional seasons in Los Angeles. Reaves averaged a career-high 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steel per game between 2024-25. He started 73 of the Lakers’ 82 games. Recently, one League Insider has shown strong Austin Reeves’ future.

Bill Simmons reported that the Lakers “will” to “trade leave” this summer. Despite Reaves’ career-best season, the Simmons believes the Lakers will move on from him.

Simmons added that the trading package the Lakers receive for Reeves will make the Dallas Mavericks even worse. Several analysts around the league believe the Lakers should have sent another first-round pick in either Austin Reeves or Luka Donsic’s deal. Bill Simmons is connected to the league and is a reliable source of information. He said the Lakers would “will” Austin Reeves this summer. It’s time to see whether Simmons was right and where Reeves continues his career.
