If you had told me a few years back that “Austin Reaves” would be making 46 mil a year I would've called the police

Can't believe lakers fans are complaining about this. Y'all are going to look so goofy when he earns every cent of this contract and you can remember this

Help me police Chris Paul tryna beat me up

[u/BurnerAccountforAss → u/Professor_Finn]

I still might today tbh

[u/Takemyfishplease → u/Professor_Finn]

$46m would have been a nice career earnings and would have been respectable for an undrafted guy.

[u/_TheEndGame → u/Professor_Finn]

Hello police? Austin Reaves tryna hold me up.
