The Los Angeles Lakers are going through a plethora of troubles right now.
The Lakers are just 3-7 in their last 10 games of the season following their most recent defeat against the New Orleans Pelicans.
In addition to that, there are many rumors suggesting a potential beef brewing between Austin Reaves and head coach Darvin Ham.
Speaking of Reaves, the 25-year-old recently shared his views on the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent struggles via Spectrum SportsNet on Twitter.
“I want to win, and that’s the main goal at the end of the day,” Reaves said.

Austin Reaves didn’t beat around the bush about his goal on the Lakers for this season.
He simply wants to win, and that remains his biggest goal.
Reaves has been a key contributor for the Los Angeles Lakers off the bench, as he is averaging 15.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game for the team this season.
Despite his good numbers, Reaves isn’t playing extended minutes for the Lakers under Darvin Ham’s coaching.
Reaves was given a rare chance to play 36 minutes for the Lakers against the New Orleans Pelicans, and the veteran guard responded by putting up 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 9 assists.
Unfortunately, as good as Reaves’ performance was, it still couldn’t help the Lakers avoid the 109-129 defeat at the hands of the Pelicans.
The Lakers have now fallen to a 17-17 record as they hold the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
The Purple and Gold need to find a way to consistently win games if they want to have a shot at winning the 2024 NBA Championship.
