Austin Reaves To Get Offers For More Money Than Lakers Want To Pay Him

Reaves has been one of the best players for the Lakers this postseason run and one of the hottest names in playoff basketball; with that said, the soon-to-be restricted free agent will be entering the summer looking for a new contract.

Los Angeles, while hoping to re-sign Austin Reaves, does not want to pay him more money than some of the expected offers.

The Lakers will be able to match any offer submitted by an inquiring team, however, they could be forced to match under terms that would see the 24-year-old paid around the Mid-Level Exception for the first two seasons.

Since he is subjected to the Arenas Provision, his contract could jump come years three and four. Due to that, Los Angeles hesitates to pay him so much money.

Reaves has been struggling, along with Los Angeles’s starting lineup, so their head coach believes shifting around key players can make a fundamental difference to their on-the-court production.

This move is all about getting players going and trying not to rely upon LeBron James and Anthony Davis for every single possession.

Cam Reddish has replaced Austin Reaves in the starting lineup since L.A.’s win against the Phoenix Suns. Reaves looked better on the bench with 15 points, while Reddish balled-out with 17 points.

Nobody knows for sure how long this lasts, but why change something that is currently working for the organization?
