Column: A painful truth: Lakers must trade Austin Reaves

I love him like you love him. But it’s time. Austin Reaves is the Lakers’ breath of fresh air, a sharpshooting respite from all the drama and dirge, a stirring journey from undrafted to indefatigable. My favorite, everybody’s favorite. But it’s time. If the Lakers are going to get where they need to be, they’ll have to get there without Austin Reaves. If the Lakers truly value the acquisition of a big man, they’re going to have to get rid of the little fella.

Commentary: Lakers' season ends in humiliation … and hope

Once again, excitement became embarrassment. Once again, a promise was broken. Once again, the Lakers weren’t fast enough or skilled enough or deep enough or strong enough. Once again, blowing up in the first round of the playoffs for the third time in five years, the Lakers just weren’t good enough. Rarely has Crypto.com Arena been as quiet while a playoff game was being played as it was Wednesday in the final minute of a 103-96 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
