Reaves Max Deal Could Shape Lakers Future

About this episode

The episode discusses Austin Reaves' potential max contract and its implications for the 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.
