美国媒体Clutch Points驻洛杉矶湖人记者Anthony Irwin谈到了有关于奥斯汀-里夫斯（Austin Reaves）的一些消息。Irwin表示：鉴于洛杉矶方面可能会存在白白失去里夫斯（明年成为完全自由球员）的风险，如果他们不考虑在下赛季的某个时候交易他，那就显得太失职了。尤其是如果很明显里夫斯和卢卡-东契奇（Luka Donc where the team is pursuing a championship, it would be difficult to overcome, leading to problems. The Lakers management would have made a major mistake.
Irwin continued to write: This summer, the Lakers quickly ended any negotiations regarding Reaves, unless Reaves is part of the team's next trade to acquire a star. Otherwise, they would not consider trading him. However, this did not prevent other teams from asking about Reaves during the new season. If there are any reasons that the issue of whether Reaves and Doncic can coexist remains, the Lakers would have to take these requests more seriously. Nevertheless, the Lakers' internal goal and hope is to see Reaves and Doncic become a viable pair in the future. They have already extended contracts with Doncic this summer. If the combination of the two is smooth in the new season, they also hope to extend Reaves' contract and keep him in the team's roster.
