LeBron James' friend, Cuffs The Legend, took to social media on Tuesday to call for major changes to the Lakers' roster, including the surprise suggestion of trading Austin Reaves. Cuffs’ remarks came following the Lakers' recent 122-110 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, which was also the franchise's first game after trading D’Angelo Russell.

Cuffs outlined three key moves he believes the Lakers need to make to contend for an NBA championship. First, he urged the team to trade Austin Reaves, citing his defensive shortcomings as a liability.
