Austin Reaves Turns Down Lakers' Four-Year, $89.2M Current Max Offer

He’s worth the money if he keeps playing like this.

Unfortunately, in this era of 2nd apron, he's not.

Its better to have Top Tier depth and 1 super duperstar. As much as he's improved, and as good as he currently is, 2nd all NBA level,

Lakers should trade him for like 3-4 first rounders and stack the team.

Yeah I think we should sell high on Reaves. I’m not confident in his body holding up as he ages on a 5 year max. Now is the time to try to flip him for Giannis.

IRONY CONSIDERING GIANNIS
IS IN HIS 30S AND HURT ALL OF THE TIME.

The odds of winning a ring with Luka and a 31 year old Giannis is still much greater than with Reaves.

How do you define top tier depth though?. The champs we have in the apron era are OKC and their 2 and 3 options are both all star level players getting paid a gang of money.

No TF he not lmao he is not a #1 option fam

Probably similar to the deal Mikel Bridges got. 4 yrs $150M. Reaves said he’s willing to take less money to stay in LA.

It's similar to Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren contracts and they arent #1 options neither.
