Multiple NBA executives expect Austin Reaves to stay with the Lakers and sign a new deal worth over $30 million per year—cementing him as Luka Doncic’s backcourt partner. But is Reaves truly at the level of other recent co-stars like Jalen Brunson or Kyrie Irving? For context: James Harden makes $36M per year, was just All-NBA, and led the Clippers to 50 wins with Kawhi missing half the season. Reaves, meanwhile, has seen a noticeable statistical drop in the playoffs since his first run. Over the past two postseasons, he’s been a combined -46 while on the court. Can Reaves actually be a legit #2 on a contender with Luka, or are the Lakers overpaying? Drop your thoughts! #Lakers #AustinReaves #LukaDoncic #NBAFreeAgency #BasketballTalk #NBA #Sports
