Lakers Eye Max Deal for Reaves

The Lakers are poised to make a massive splash by offering Austin Reaves a five-year, $241 million max contract — the highest any team can legally offer — as he prepares to opt out of his current deal. But not everyone’s on board: former Laker Lonzo Ball bluntly suggests they cap it at $150 million, joking he’d trade Reaves for Peyton Watson. With Reaves’ agent leveraging offers from other teams and the Lakers’ front office in flux, the final number remains uncertain. Meanwhile, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes, Marcus Smart, and Deandre Ayton could all hit free agency, turning this offseason into a whirlwind of high-stakes decisions for LA.
