Hoopshype evaluates the upcoming free agent, Austin Reaves, and his stock after an impressive recent stretch of games. Reaves is a versatile player who can play different roles and contribute effectively. He has shown an ability to score, create plays, and complete difficult passes.
The Lakers are likely to re-sign him this summer, thanks to his restricted free agent status, and they could offer him a four-year contract worth $51 million. However, other teams with cap space could offer him a higher contract under the Gilbert Arenas provision, but it’s unlikely to happen.
The article also highlights the Lakers’ history of making mistakes with undrafted players and second-rounders, which could lead to luxury tax casualties elsewhere on the roster this offseason.
