With Desmond Bane fetching four unprotected first-round picks to the Memphis Grizzlies, questions surrounding Lakers guard Austin Reaves’ trade value have emerged. Reaves outplayed Bane last year, including the NBA Playoffs. Luka Doncic’s backcourt partner averaged a career-high 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists on 46.0% shooting, including 37.7% from 3.

Meanwhile, Bane scored 19.2 ppg, 6.1 rpg and 5.3 apg, shooting 48.4%, including 39.2% from 3. Despite leading Memphis’ offense for significant stretches, Bane couldn’t improve his production. Meanwhile, Reaves primarily played in a similar role as Bane, sometimes even taking charge of the offense with Luka Doncic, LeBron James and Anthony Davis around.

The conversations surrounding Reaves and his market value have taken a significant hit after he didn’t find much success in the playoffs. He averaged 16.2 ppg, 5.4 rpg and 3.6 apg on 41/32/86 splits against the Timberwolves in five games.

However, Bane was even worse against the Thunder. The Magic’s new point guard tallied 15.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg and 3.3 apg on 32/22/93 splits. With Reaves being better at the two players’ ceiling and floor, Lakers fans wondered if he could fetch the same value in a trade with a team that could benefit immensely from his services.

Here are the reactions surrounding Austin Reaves’ value that followed after Desmond Bane’s trade:
