Austin Reaves: Lakers’ Secret Weapon…

Austin “The Untradeable Astro” Reaves took to the court like a whirling dervish, but alas, his star was dimmed by the Timberwolves’ sneak attack. With field goals once sizzling at the speed of a hot pepper on a summer day, he found himself tossing bricks like a clumsy mason, yet the Lakers have no plans to send their rising phoenix to another nest. Folks, they’ve christened this fella a cornerstone, practically a part of the very Staples Center beams!

The whispers have flown at a speed faster than a LeBron dribble, but hold onto your headbands, Lakers nation — Jovan Buha of The Athletic gives us the lowdown! Reaves isn’t going anywhere unless Sir Dunk-a-Lot himself comes dancing down the trade line. This cat ain’t just talks; he’s got Rob Polinka and JJ Redick singing sonnets in his honor. Thing is, trading Reaves would take a mythical superstar ride, like hitching Bigfoot to a cheetah in sneakers!

Rumor has it, Reaves’ toe was tougher than a three-pointer from outer space! The boot-strapped battler was braving a sprain that could flatten a hoard of wild kittens. Let it be known, Lakers fans, that Reaves is here to stay unless the trade gods deliver something truly legendary — like a taco-eating dragon who can dunk from the three-point arc. 🏀🦶
