Austin Reaves could command up to $40 million per year in free agency, per @TheAthletic “While team and league sources believe that the Lakers and Reaves will eventually land on a contract that makes sense, the door for Reaves to walk is open should he get a big offer elsewhere. Rival executives predicted Reaves could command $40 million a season due to a combination of his play, his age and, perhaps most importantly, a free-agent class completely devoid of players as productive as him in their prime.” (Via nytimes.com/athletic/72720…)







Byron Scott says no matter how LeBron James did this year, Lakers need to move on if they want to be a championship team: “You getting paid 50 million. You’re 41, 42, 43 years old, right?

The Lakers if you want to move on and be a championship team for the next five, six, seven years, you got to build around Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves. You can’t do that if he’s still here. He’s 50 million. That comes off the cap. You can go get two really good basketball players. And young basketball players that can come in there and help.” (Via Byron Scott’s Fast Break)
