Reaves Max Deal Could Shape Lakers Future

Austin Reaves is poised to become a Laker legend—or at least a max-salary superstar—after putting up career highs last season before a brutal oblique injury cut his year short. With Danny Green backing him hard, calling Reaves a Jalen Brunson-level asset who deserves every penny of a max deal, the Lakers are in a race against time and other teams to lock him up. They can offer a five-year, $241M contract—more than any other team can match—while Reaves reportedly wants the max and isn’t willing to settle. With a deadline looming June 29th, the Lakers’ future hinges on whether they can convince him to stay in LA before another franchise swoops in.
