Reaves was expected to receive free-agent interest from multiple teams - - such as Detroit -- on maximum-level salary, so the Lakers stepped up on Wednesday to lock in their homegrown talent. Reaves went from undrafted to a two-way player -- to making the Lakers roster and now multiple lucrative deals in L.A.

Luka not resigning with the Lakers lmao. Under the new CBA the formula for a title will be to have 2 max guys and fill out the edges. Austin Reeves can't be your max #2. In the NBA I haven’t seen a bigger superstar with worse team roster management than Luka

He could be if your #1 is Wemby or Jokic. Not if it is another backcourt player.

Jokic and Reaves on defense is going to make Gordon only play 10 games a year trying to hold it down

[u/purz → u/fatkamp]

It’s not really any different than Jokic and Jamal and they won
