Lakers backcourt general: Trading rumors can t affect me, my agent does this every year

Los Angeles Lakers backcourt star Austin Reaves recently accepted an exclusive interview with Trevor Lane, a host of local media Lakers Nation in Los Angeles. He also mentioned some recent trading rumors to Reeves in the interview, and consulted Reeves's agent about the rumors. The host asked: Your agent posted a tweet a month ago. I don’t want to get into trouble. I’m just relaying what he said here. He said: The next season will be a wonderful performance. I can’t wait to see what is about to happen, such words. Obviously, he has made a lot of planning for your next season, especially you are often closely related to the Lakers' trading chips about centers. What does these rumors mean to you?

Reeve said: To be honest, I think these things are actually quite interesting. I remember he called me because of this, and he said to me: I hope you don’t mind. I said I don’t care about this at all, and what anyone said will not actually affect me. I will continue to train hard in the summer and work hard to improve myself. If I remember correctly, he did something similar last summer. Then I played my best season of my career this season. So in my opinion, these things have nothing to do with performance on the court. As far as I'm concerned, I just want to continue to grow and become a better player, and as for other rumors, I don't care about it.

In the NBA regular season this season, Reeves played 73 games in 82 games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game, averaging 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, shooting percentage of 46%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 87.7%. During the playoffs, Reeves made a total of 5 appearances, averaging 39.3 minutes per game, with averaging 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks. He also had 2.8 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 41.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 31.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 85.7%.

Reeves performed quite well in the regular season this season, which left a deep impression on everyone. However, his performance during the playoffs was not ideal, which can be said to be a very disappointing level and was completely unable to meet everyone's expectations. This also largely led to the team being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. As the Lakers' shortage of inside positions was further amplified during the playoffs, and Reeves is the Lakers' most valuable bargaining chip at the moment, it is generally believed that he will be sent away this summer. I don’t know what fate will be waiting for Reeves next.
