The Lakers’ offseason is going off without a hitch. Having attracted Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince, Cam Reddish and Jaxson Hayes, the “Purple & Gold” franchise also managed to retain Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell.
And it is now Austin Reaves who are back with the Los Angeles franchise.
The rear even initials an extremely interesting contract of 56 million dollars over four years. A much lower sum than one could have imagined, when he had nevertheless established himself as the team’s third option in the playoffs, behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis…
Note that the fourth year is a “player option” and that Austin Reaves will therefore be able to become a free agent in 2026, while the contract also contains a “trade kicker” of 15% in the event of an exchange, according to The Athletic.
Reaves went from a two-way contract to a standard minimum contract in 2021 NBA training camp — and now less than two years later, cashes in on the maximum allowable salary from the Lakers. https://t.co/dEkgGQAanw
