@Sportsmecca @espn @ShamsCharania Not really other teams would've paid the same ! Healthy Reaves was carrying the Lakers alone when Bron & Luka were out and averaging an efficient 40 points!

Breaking: Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell @shamscharania.
Reaves lands the richest contract for an undrafted player in NBA history.
English
@kaj182_ @TheWestbrookEra Yeah and his probably all types of medication where he can’t perform the way he used too and he 50-60 years old
English
@Cpltx1 @TheWestbrookEra Man he just had his leg amputated last year… he’s had money and fame for the last ten years..
English
He lost his foot and she dipped on him after he stuck with her through her stroke. That’s so messed up bro.

LaVar Ball revealed to N3on that he and his ex-wife Tina Ball have split up and that he’s already moved on 😬 “She wanted to go another way.. we had a good run..”

@kaj182_ @TheWestbrookEra How the man got 1 leg he worried about his health
English
@2pac30Westside @DamienPetersNBA I’m so sick of everyone comparing kyrie to Austin it’s embarrassing
English
@DamienPetersNBA I think it's possible. He and Luka have their flaws defensively, but some people (not you my man) act like a good defense can't be built around them. Like that never happened in NY or Dallas when LUKA and Kyrie were there.
English
I don’t see how the Lakers can look around the league and think that Austin Reaves is a championship-caliber partner next to Luka.
English
The Lakers ain't winning anything without LeBron James!
English
@Coopz___ Mfs keep saying he’s a playoff dropper 😭😭😭, like if you putting up these type of stats against a great team like the thunder then I don’t see how the hell your a playoff dropper
English
Legitimately the best a guard has looked scoring against OKC in a playoff setting over the last two seasons
Basketball Performances@NBAPerformances
Austin Reaves postseason scoring vs. OKC • 25/4/7 on 51/39/82 splits last 3 games • Playoff career-high 31 PTS on 76 TS%
English
Damn near 50/40/90 as a second option and people are mad…
StatMuse@statmuse
Austin Reaves this season: 23.3 PPG 4.7 RPG 5.5 APG 1.1 SPG 49/36/87% $185M

“struggles against physical playoff defenses” take is DEAD.

@BigMac30Pack @Sportsmecca @espn @ShamsCharania Man fuck the regular season bro we want championships !!! And Austin reaves is not a playoff performer
English
@Cpltx1 @Sportsmecca @espn @ShamsCharania He carried them to the playoffs and will do it again for the next 4 years. He’s the franchise player to build a team around
English
@Tnewty11 @LeLukaShow Can yall stop comparing kyrie and Austin it’s embarrassing
English
@LeLukaShow Didn’t win a chip but AR is a better defender than Kyrie. We lack the wins the wings and bigs to surround him with
English
Building around Luka and Austin Reaves. Name the last team with a backcourt 1-2 punch who won a ring
English
@BigMac30Pack @Sportsmecca @espn @ShamsCharania Idk what games you were watching but reaves had 3 straight years of bad playoffs performances so no he didn’t “outplay LeBron”
English

@Cpltx1 @SportsWrldTalk @PlayoffDude Bro reread everything you just said. Powell was just another bench player for the Raptors in 2019 that hardly could touch 10 points per game during that run. You’re aware that Powell only became an all star this year cause Reaves got hurt. Powell doesn’t got shit on Reaves 😭
English
I don’t understand why people are upset about Austin Reaves coming back when the Lakers still have around $50M in cap space this summer to add more pieces and actually build a competitive roster around Luka and Reaves.
English
@LukasGotNexttt @SportsWrldTalk @PlayoffDude Did you watch those playoff games he was balling ! His been averaging 20 the last 3 years when his a starter
English
@LukasGotNexttt @SportsWrldTalk @PlayoffDude You laughing but what has Austin reaves done next to Norman Powell ?? A nba champion and a all star what accolades Austin got oh right a 2 months ago all star and got hurt 😂
English
@GuruLakers Im deadass taking AR over all these guys except Jaren, how people are complaining about this deal when there wasnt any talent to replace him with is crazy, just wish they would acknowledge that you dont let a player of AR’s caliber walk for nothing.
English
This is what guards of Reaves caliber make in 2026.
Standard protocol at this point.
Other 26/27 salaries for comparison:
Lavine 48M
Ja 42M
Sabonis 45M
Jaren Jackson 49M😂
AD 59M
Booker 57M
Trust me…the Lakers are fine lol
English
@PlayoffDude I agree with you, Man, I think bringing him back was that the best thing cause who else we have out there to replace there’s not a lot of great talent out there
English
@ItsJinxQS @ShamsCharania No all stars no all nba teams no championships yeah alright
English
@ShamsCharania Anyone whos screaming how did he get a max deal dont know ball its called bird rights why the lakers did this . W Resigning
