According to recent reports from WireHoops’ Yossi Gozlan, a lot of teams will be interested in signing Reaves when he becomes a free agent this summer.
“For example, would a team like the Clippers, Hawks, or Bulls offer Reaves a two or three-year max to make a competitive offer?
This will surely be a headache for the Lakers. Initially, he planned to sign a contract extension. But with his current form and other teams coming into the mix, things are looking a bit complex.
Shedding light on the same, Lakers Daily quoted, “The Los Angeles Lakers plan to offer Austin Reaves a five-year, $240 million contract this offseason once unrestricted free agency begins.
Reaves’ chemistry with Luka Doncic has been a revelation. The two guards have developed a seamless two-man game that has powered the Lakers’ nine-game winning streak.
Austin Reaves went from undrafted to a $240 million man in four years. The Lakers want to keep him. The Hawks, Bulls, and Clippers want to steal him.
