Recently, former NBA player Marcus Morris talked about Reeves's issue on the show.

Morris said: "As long as Doncic and James are there, the Lakers will have a chance, and I think they need to make some adjustments. If I were the general manager, I would trade Reeves, and this may not be said publicly. The playoffs made me understand that he and Doncic were on the defensive end at the same time, unless Reeves were put on the bench. The regular season starting lineup is OK, no one will target them, no one will design tactics to target this weakness. But in the seven-game playoff series, the opponent will chase them and play, you know, that's the problem. With no big guys who can protect the frame, the game will be more difficult. So I think they should trade Reeves, after all, he is trading at a high value now, and maybe he can exchange for a few adhesive-type puzzle players, such as the inside line. Then you can move on."
