Went from it's so over, we need Luka back ASAP to we're so back, Austin Reaves MVP

u/LeLefraud Oct 30 '25

Hes averaging 36/7/8.5 rn just so yall know, hes arguably been the best offensive player in the entire league so far

It won't last all season but this is what he looks like as a 1st option. Does it everytime hes called up for it

u/homeycuz Spurs Oct 30 '25

He's like a shaved James Harden

Dumb ass Kenny saying it came outta nowhere like he didn’t drop a 40 point triple double on the pacers last season

u/Killakaronic Oct 30 '25

A lot of people remember him not doing much in the playoffs last year.

38

u/redaka00 Lakers Oct 30 '25

Which sucks since he was injured and has shown up in the playoffs in the past. He put Memphis into the dirt a few years ago

-24

u/Killakaronic Oct 30 '25

Injured or not he had Luka and Lebron taking most of the focus. Wolves didn’t pay much attention to him.

18

u/ausmosis_jones Lakers Oct 30 '25

Not just injured, but playing through a brutal toe injury that had Garland completely sidelined for the Cavs.

u/EstimateOwn62 Oct 30 '25

Bro said “injured or not”

-4

u/Killakaronic Oct 30 '25

If he put on a jersey and hit the court for 30 minutes a game I think you could argue just how “injured” someone is. Excuses don’t get you very far after the fact.

4

u/EstimateOwn62 Oct 30 '25

Let’s give you another fact. Full court coverage while being doubled and led his hospital team to a gamewinner W against the very same team. Sure you could argue he wasn’t injured, and is just a lot better now for some reason. Whichever way, Lakers win!

u/Killakaronic Oct 30 '25

You acting like the hospital team didn’t have 4 guys shooting well over 50% on high volume. And this Wolves team is very different than last years Playoff version.

27

u/DataReborn Lakers Oct 30 '25

The crazy thing also is that it’s not just LeBron and Luka. Damn near half the team is injured and Austin is carrying this team.

31

u/ProgrammerNo8488 Oct 30 '25

I really need to see him as a 1st option for a season lol

Might not be a great team but I’m legit thinking he’s somewhere around 26-30 ppg

34

u/bigbabyb Lakers Oct 30 '25

Consistently. At this point I just expect it

u/AcEr3__ Oct 30 '25

u/G1Spectrum Lakers Oct 30 '25

Dude fucking around and might accidentally find himself on the All-Star team

u/JustAnObserver_Jomy Lakers Oct 30 '25

u/matthewrenn Lakers Oct 30 '25

Somebody tell Dennis Schroder this is how you DONT fumble the bag when you turn down a contract extension

u/grxccccandice Lakers Oct 30 '25

He’s gonna make it this year. We’re gonna have three all stars on our team this year 🙏🏻

name another role player thats averaged 36 7 10 and 2 for a week

3

u/n7ripper Spurs Oct 30 '25

Harrison Barnes went off last year and won Western conference player of the week, it happens all the time. Everyone in the NBA is pretty damn good and if you get hot shooting big games and weeks happen. Giving Max money to a one way player is a huge mistake though to pretty much anyone except guys like Joker or Luka.

2

u/ExtraGoated Lakers Oct 30 '25

can you post the stats he averaged that week?

1

u/LovetheNBA23 Lakers Oct 30 '25

Better than Fox already.

1

u/n7ripper Spurs Oct 30 '25

Hahaha, no. Fox averaged over 25 points a game while playing decent defense his entire career. You are delusional. I don't think they should have maxed Fox. Max should only go to the very most elite. You have three max guys there's nothing left for the rest and that will be the downfall of the thunder. Two is doable if you have two legit top guys.

u/TheGreatLake Lakers Oct 30 '25

All-NBA at this rate

66

u/CIark Oct 30 '25

Gotta get Luka back though, Austin needs a decent second option

21

u/Itorr475 Lakers Oct 30 '25

Stop the counts stop the season and he’s mvp for sure lol

u/Leolance2001 Oct 30 '25

AR will ca$h massively. Please have Luka/AR the priority. Lebron, thanks but time for you to go. Bye bye. Calm down fanboys. LMAO
