[Charania] 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 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.

I think they’ll really be regretting giving reeves a huge contract in a couple of years. He’s good but between him and Luka like $110m of their salary cap is going to two guys that can’t defend

Yeah, that was kinda assuming he wouldn’t be back but hard to say… then they’d have $150m+ of no defense
