Los Angeles Lakers was in the American Professional League in the Professional League. Although they only made some external moves to bring more talents, they managed to hold Luka Doncic in the long term by extending a three -year contract worth $ 165 million.
The bringing of Dendre Aytun, Marcus Smart and Jake Laravia are also high quality movements. However, there are still remaining questions about whether Lakers can be a real competitor at the Western Conference.

Another decision will revolve around the rising star goalkeeper Austin Reeves.
Reeves was affected by the best professional season in the 2024-25 campaign. He has one year remaining in his deal and then a player’s option that can choose to exercise for one second.
How does the look at Los Angeles look like? Currently, it seems very likely to stay with Lakers.
According to the American Professional League correspondent Jovan Buha, one of the best correspondents to cover the team, is expected to stay in Los Angeles. He also participated that Reves wanted to stay with the team for the rest of his career.
“I expect it to be with Lakers. He wants to be Laker to life,” Boha said.

During the 2024-25 season, Reaves played in 73 games. Its average reached 20.2 points for each game to match 5.8 decisive passes, 4.5 rebound balls, 1.1 theft and fired 46 percent of the ground and 37.7 percent of three points.
At only 27 years old, Reaves has a long profession in front of him. He is now at his boss and will be able to be an ideal companion for Doncic for some time.
We hope that Los Angeles is able to reach a new deal with Reves. At least now, Boha definitely sees the most likely scenario.
