They have six preseason games against conference opponents like the Kings, Suns, Timberwolves and the Warriors. The Purple and Gold has 39 nationally televised games this season, the second-most in the league after the Dubs (42). As the new season inches closer, the front office is desperately trying to improve the roster before training camp begins. Let's take a look at some rumors around the Lakers in the last 24 hours. LA Lakers would like to pay and keep Austin Reaves for the foreseeable future Austin Reaves of the LA Lakers in 2021-22 Austin Reaves shone in his rookie season last year and often started games for the LA Lakers. The 23-year-old undrafted player from Oklahoma averaged 7.3 points, 1.8 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game on 46/31/87 shooting splits. He was rumored to be the starting guard in the upcoming season until the Lakers traded for Patrick Beverley. According to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, the Lakers are interested in continuing their partnership with Reaves. He reported: "I asked one NBA coach about Austin, and he told me, 'Austin Reaves is really good and better than I thought. He's versatile. He's a good on-ball defender. He makes the right play offensively. He finds ways to impact the game and do the little things to help.' "From everything I've gathered, he'd like to stay in LA and get a pay raise, and the Lakers would like to keep him."
